Review WINNER - Best Foreign Language Film - Academy Awards NOMINATED - Best Actor in a Leading Role - Academy Awards WINNER - Palme d'Or - Cannes Film Festival WINNER - Best Foreign Language Film - Golden Globes WINNER - Best Actor - European Film Awards WINNER - Best Young Actor - European Film Awards ---In Bille August's Pelle the Conqueror, Max von Sydow is so astoundingly evocative that he makes your bones ache. --Hal Hinson, The Washington PostThe von Sydow performance is in a category by itself. It is another highlight in an already extraordinary career, and quite unlike anything that American audiences have seen him do to date. - Vincent Canby, The New York Times [T]he film is a towering achievement, grueling in its portrayal of a harsh existence yet ultimately an exhilarating experience unlikely to be forgotten. --Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times Review: A movie for all children and adults - This is a truly great movie. It demonstrates human emotions on a grand scale. It takes place around the turn of the century. A father (played by Von Sydow) and his son Pelle (played by Pelle Hvenegaard) are forced to travel from Sweden to Denmark in order to leave a life of poverty and despair (Pelle's mother died). Pelle is only 12, and his father is over 50. Only reluctantly does a farmer hire them (the father is too old, and the kid is too young). Little did they know that the life in Denmark was physically harsh and emotionally draining. Prejudice was common against the foreigners. Pelle is very dependent upon his emotionally weak father who will not defend his son and likes alcohol. In the end, Pelle demonstates his strength beyond most adult men. This movie is directed and produced so clearly and accurately that it draws you into the the harsh, physically filthy and emotionally draining life on the farm. Since it is filmed over the course of about one year, you need not doubt that the georgous scenery is real. The blizzard, the ice, and the fields are real. In fact, Pelle Hvenegaard was named 12 years before the production after Pelle from the novel. Pelle is an uncommon Swedish name. His acting was so good that one forgets this was a movie. The ending put me in tears. Although it was somewhat predictable, it still packed an emotional punch. It took my breath away. I can recommend this Academy Award winning movie to anyone. Review: Profoundly Moving - I cannot tell you how much I love this movie! There isn't any aspect of it; from script, to its luscious music and settings, to acting, to very touching and stirring scenes that has not moved me greatly. I highly recommend this work of art, often celebrated with numerous awards. I have repeatedly watched it over and over for close to twenty years, and I'm always glad to see it again. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XRS68ZY | | Actors | Björn Granath, Max von Sydow, Pelle Hvenegaard | | Best Sellers Rank | #152,863 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #249 in Foreign Films (Movies & TV) #9,286 in Drama Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (293) | | Director | Bille August | | Media Format | NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.93 ounces | | Release date | May 30, 2017 | | Run time | 2 hours and 30 minutes | | Studio | Film Movement | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Bille August, Björn Granath, Max von Sydow, Pelle Hvenegaard - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** Danish, Swedish - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 30 minutes ## Images ![Pelle the Conqueror - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51t8M9U9xaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A movie for all children and adults *by L***A on February 21, 2005* This is a truly great movie. It demonstrates human emotions on a grand scale. It takes place around the turn of the century.

There isn't any aspect of it; from script, to its luscious music and settings, to acting, to very touching and stirring scenes that has not moved me greatly. I highly recommend this work of art, often celebrated with numerous awards. I have repeatedly watched it over and over for close to twenty years, and I'm always glad to see it again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A magnificent performance by Von Sydow *by K***G on July 17, 2011* 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 that don't get developed enough. On the other hand, the intricate, specific details of the sad, Dickensian world of this Danish farm in the late 19th century feel real, harsh, and often 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 almost lifts this into 'great film' territory just by himself. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/46416695-pelle-the-conqueror](https://www.desertcart.at/products/46416695-pelle-the-conqueror) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
