The House of Angels
(Anglagard)
Sweden - 1992
Directed by Colin Nutley
Contemporary tale about a worldly young woman who arrives in a tiny rural hamlet to claim a manor house and forest land that she has inherited from her grandfather, a man that she never met. She arrives on the back of a motorcycle, being driven by a rough-looking character in black leather who is actually her closest friend. The country folk are aghast at the free-spirited Fanny. A neighboring farmer who had planned to buy the forest land at auction, under the assumption that the old man had died without heirs, is especially irritated by the young woman's presence. Fanny is delightfully portrayed by Helena Bergstrom, she seems unaffected by the scrutiny of the country people, and she eventually wins them over. One scene that was particularly interesting is in the church when Fanny arrives at the funeral. No dialogue is necessary as the camera pans from face to face, we can almost "hear" what the people are thinking.
Colin Nutley won the Guldbagge Award for Best Direction for his work on Anglagard, which was also nominated for the Guldbagge for Best Film (1992).
