The CinePearl Take

Pelle the Conqueror is a 1980s Swedish film that blends coming-of-age and drama — expect youth, identity and formative moments and character-driven, emotional storytelling. Bille August directs and the script comes from Bjarne Reuter. Lena-Pia Bernhardsson and Björn Granath are among the leads. Made in Sweden, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Swedish-language films. Released in 1987, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 157 minutes, it asks for a proper sit-down.
