Lotterywest Festival Films :: Everlasting Moments

Everlasting Moments

Director: Jan Troell · 110min · M
In Swedish with subtitles

Set in 1907, this magnificent period drama about a female photographer living in Sweden is both an intimate family portrait and a rich canvas of working-class life at a time when socialist and anarchist beliefs flourished in the shadow of strikes and demonstrations. Strict Protestant traditions dominated, suppressing any ideas of women’s rights or common sense.

Agneta Ulstater Troell, the director’s wife, based the novel and screen adaptation on the life of her ancestor, Maria Larsson, a simple though determined woman and mother of seven, married to a charming bull-like dockworker who was often drunk. After winning a camera in a lottery, Maria became a photographer at a time when no woman would have dreamt of embracing such a profession and few men would condone it.
