Review of Barnens ö / Children's Island (1980) movie, by Stefan Stenudd


The decades which have passed since the premiere of this movie, have not treated it lovingly. In 1980 it became an immediate classic of Swedish cinema, based on a highly praised, bestseller book. Now, it's all but forgotten.

Children

On January 20, 1980, in a letter to the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and a television interview, U.S. President Jimmy Carter proposes that the 1980 Summer Olympics be moved from the. CHILDREN'S ISLAND (BARNENS O) (Sweden, 1980) 10/79 CHILDSTAR (Canada, 2004 - english) 3/277 CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (UK, 1968) 4/221 CHORISTES, LES (France, 2004) 15.



Tomas Fryk, playing the boy about to enter puberty and hating it, makes a formidable performance, and went on to do a number of other films, usually with equal brilliance. But the boy he has to portray is not altogether flesh and blood - more of an intellectual construction of slightly clinical nature.

P. C. Jersild, the writer of the book on which the film is based and sticks to quite obediently, is an MD, so to him the perspective might have made sense, but I would have found the character Reine easier to believe if he had not been so single-minded in his attitude to growing up.

Space force delta 2. The human psyche is mysterious, for sure, and often defies understanding. Therefore, so are human actions. But one thing the mind never is, is singular. Everyone contains pro and con to just about anything. Reine lacks the pro, the longing to grow up - and a convincing explanation to why he would lack it.

PS

I had the fortune of watching him do a scene on the set of a film in the mid-1980's, when he was an adolescent. As an actor, he was a natural.

In the scene, he stares right into the camera as his character realizes that he has caused a serious accident. A terrible revelation, and I could clearly see the whole process on his face. Very dramatic, alhtough he did not utter a word and didn't move out of the spot.

I asked him afterwards how he did that. He replied:

'I looked straight ahead and thought of nothing.'

Nothing can really be something, sometimes.
