The New Land

In Jan Troell’s extraordinary follow-up to The Emigrants, the Nilsson family has arrived in the United States and are now living in the wilderness of Minnesota. There, as they attempt to farm the land, they must contend with the elements, the temptation of the California Gold Rush, and violent conflicts including the Civil War and Sioux Uprising. Based on the series of novels by Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg.

"Troell is a film master whose films are overflowing yet calm and balanced; they're rapturously normal."
Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
"Nowhere has the experience of European emigration to America been told so forcefully and definitively as in Swedish director Jan Troell's duo, The Emigrants and The New Land."
Christopher Machell, CineVue
