Editorial Reviews

"One of the most ambitious debuts since CITIZEN KANE." —Kenneth Tynan, The Observer

"Stunning, frank, bold and beautiful... Has much of the moods of Bergman (and) a Fellini-like fascination." —World Journal Tribune

"There is a degree of sexual openness about this picture that goes farther than most." —New York Post

For her feature film directing debut, actress Mai Zetterling turned to Agnes von Krusenstjerna’s controversial masterpiece of Swedish feminist literature, The Misses von Pahlen, an intense and personal 7-part novel has been likened to the great works of D.H. Lawrence.

As three pregnant women from different backgrounds wait to have their babies in a hospital in Stockholm at the outbreak of the Great War, they relive their childhood and youthful experiences via individual flashbacks.

Drawing on the classic Ingmar Bergman style of Swedish filmmaking and collaborating with many of his favorite actors as well as the great cinematographer Sven Nykvist, Zetterling has produced a powerful fusion of personal emotional drama and a commentary on the role of women in a society in moral decline.
