Query: A magnificent performance by Von Sydow

A quite good movie, with a truly great performance by Max Von Sydow.The film itself is overlong, and a bit too crowded with sub-plots thatdon't get developed enough.On the other hand, the intricate, specific details of the sad, Dickensianworld of this Danish farm in the late 19th century feel real, harsh, andoften fascinating.The young boy playing Pelle is good, but not as great as the role calls for.But Von Sydow is so subtle, so heartbreaking, so complex that he almostlifts this into 'great film' territory just by himself.
