'''''The Emigrants''''' ({{langx|sv|'''Utvandrarna'''}}) is a 1971 Swedish [[drama (film and television)|drama film]] directed and co-written by [[Jan Troell]], and starring [[Max von Sydow]], [[Liv Ullmann]], [[Eddie Axberg]], [[Allan Edwall]], [[Monica Zetterlund]], and [[Pierre Lindstedt]]. It and its 1972 sequel, [[The New Land (1972 film)|''The New Land'' (''Nybyggarna'')]], which were [[back-to-back film production|produced concurrently]], are based on [[Vilhelm Moberg]]'s ''[[The Emigrants (novel series)|The Emigrants]]'', a series of novels about poor Swedes who emigrate from [[Småland]], [[Sweden]], in the mid-19th century and make their home in [[Minnesota]]. This film adapts the first two of the four novels (''[[The Emigrants (Swedish novel)|The Emigrants]]'' (1949) and ''[[Unto a Good Land]]'' (1952)), which depict the hardships the emigrants experience in Sweden and on their journey to America.

''The Emigrants'' won international acclaim and was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film]] at the [[44th Academy Awards]]. It was nominated for four more Oscars the following year, including for [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]], the same year that ''The New Land'' was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. The 1974 American television series ''[[The New Land (TV series)|The New Land]]'' is loosely based on both ''The Emigrants'' and its sequel.

==Plot==
In 1844, the Nilsson family lives on a small farm in Korpamoen in [[Lessebo Municipality|Ljuder Parish]] in the Swedish province of [[Småland]]. Eldest son, Karl Oskar, runs the farm after his father, Nils, is injured. Karl Oskar marries Kristina Johansdotter. In the following years, Karl Oskar and Kristina have four children, Anna, Johan, Märta and Harald. The family struggles with rock-filled fields, poor weather, and bad harvests, leaving them hungry and in debt. Kristina rebukes Karl Oskar for his irreligious attitude, partially blaming it for causing their problems.

Karl Oskar's daydreaming and bookish younger brother, Robert, tired of being overworked and regularly beaten as an indentured farmhand at Aron's farm, reads about how wonderful America is and decides to emigrate. He asks Arvid, his fellow farmhand, to come with him. Arvid agrees, but their hopes are dashed upon realizing they are unable to afford passage. Robert wants to sell his share of the family farm to Karl Oskar, only to learn that Karl Oskar has also considered going to America. Despite the potential for a better life, Kristina is unenthusiastic, not wanting to leave her homeland and concerns about the arduous journey. However, when daughter Anna dies after gorging on uncooked porridge that ruptures her stomach, a devastated Kristina agrees to Karl Oskar's plan to leave Sweden.

Meanwhile, Danjel Andreasson, Kristina's uncle, is being persecuted by Brusander, the local [[Provost (religion)|provost]], for rejecting the official religion and holding fundamentalist religious services at his home. He and his wife, Inga-Lena, and their four young children are exiled, so they join Karl Oskar in his move to America. Ulrika of Västergöhl, a former prostitute who is one of Danjel's followers, and her illegitimate sixteen-year-old daughter, Elin, also join them, and Jonas Petter, a neighbor, is interested to escape his unhappy marriage. Robert is able to persuade Danjel to hire Arvid and pay his fare. Before their departure, Kristina tells Karl Oskar she is pregnant.

The emigrants travel to [[Karlshamn]] and board the wooden brig ''Charlotta'', bound for [[New York City]]. On board, Karl Oskar and Kristina meet Måns and Fina-Kajsa Andersson, an elderly couple heading for the [[Minnesota Territory]] to settle on their son Anders' farm near a town called [[Taylors Falls, Minnesota|Taylor's Falls]]. After hearing how good the land is there, Karl Oskar and Kristina decide to follow them. During the voyage, Inga-Lena and Måns Andersson die of unrelated sudden illnesses, and Kristina nearly dies from a severe nosebleed.

Upon arrival in New York, Karl Oskar and his party, along with Fina-Kajsa, travel westward to Minnesota, first by train, and then by riverboat. Throughout the whole journey from Sweden, the pious Kristina has been prejudiced against Ulrika for her past immorality, but they reconcile after Ulrika finds Kristina's missing child at a riverboat stop who was almost left behind. Soon after, while still on the riverboat, Danjel's infant daughter dies after a brief illness.

After finally arriving at the town of [[Stillwater, Minnesota|Stillwater]], the party, with help from Pastor Jackson, a friendly [[Baptist]] minister, finds their way to Anders' farm in what is now known as the [[Chisago Lakes]] area. He lives in a wooden shack, but the land is fertile, and Danjel and Jonas Petter choose fine farmland tracts nearby. Karl Oskar, however, heads deep into the woods to explore the lands along the shore of [[Chisago Lake|Lake Ki Chi Saga]] that he hears are even better. Upon arrival, he finds the topsoil is excellent and stakes a claim by carving his name into a tree overlooking the lake.

==Production==
===Development===
Plans for adapting ''[[The Emigrants (novel series)|The Emigrants]]'' novels began late in 1967. Its author, [[Vilhelm Moberg]], had seen [[Jan Troell]]'s film ''[[Here Is Your Life]]'' before producer [[Bengt Forslund]] approached him about an ''Emigrants'' film. [[SF Studios]] wished to adapt all four novels, although it was uncertain how such a film structure would work.{{sfn|Wessell|1972|p=15}}

Moberg requested Forslund and Troell meet him, and the three men mapped out a plot, with 98 scenes, finishing in March 1968. They also envisioned [[Max von Sydow]], [[Liv Ullmann]] and [[Eddie Axberg]] as the ideal stars.{{sfn|Wessell|1972|p=15}} Troell and Forslund went [[location scouting]] in the United States in September 1968, but found many of the lands were too developed or could not accommodate film equipment.{{sfn|Wessell|1972|p=16}}

===Filming===
[[File:Krageholmssjön.jpg|thumb|Lake Krageholm was a filming location.]]
The scenes set in [[Chisago Lakes]] were actually filmed at Lake Krageholm in [[Scania]], [[Sweden]]. Filming took place from June 1969 to January 1970, and then from May to August 1970.{{sfn|Wessell|1972|p=16}}

Ullmann said that for ''The Emigrants'' and ''The New Land'', which were shot at the same time, the actors had to learn historic methods of [[laundry]], and also that the brief scene in ''The Emigrants'' where she is on a [[Swing (seat)|swing]] took two days to film.{{sfn|Ullmann|2006|p=6}}

The film employed 20 actors and 500 [[Extra (acting)|extras]]. The combined cost of the two films was [[Swedish krona|kr]] 7 million, making them the most expensive Swedish film produced until that time.{{sfn|Wessell|1972|p=16}}

==Release==
''The Emigrants'' was released to cinemas in Sweden on 8 March 1971.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sfi.se/sv/svensk-filmdatabas/Item/?itemid=4865&type=MOVIE&iv=Basic|title=Utvandrarna|publisher=Swedish Film Database|language=sv|date=8 March 1971|access-date=21 September 2016}}</ref> It opened in [[New York City]] on 24 September 1972.<ref name="Canby">{{cite web |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9A00EFD6133FE73ABC4D51DFBF668389669EDE |title='The Emigrants,' a Swedish Film Epic, Lands Here |last=Canby, Vincent |author-link=Vincent Canby |date=25 September 1972 |access-date=27 November 2016|work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> The version released in the U.S. was cut from 190 to 150 minutes by [[Warner Bros.]], who distributed the film in the United States.{{sfn|Kael|2011|p=216}}

The films had been frequently requested by customers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.indiewire.com/2015/11/the-graduate-the-kid-and-more-classics-hitting-criterion-collection-in-february-53567/ |title='The Graduate,' 'The Kid' and More Classics Hitting Criterion Collection in February |last=Sharf |first=Zack |date=17 November 2015 |access-date=27 November 2016|work=[[IndieWire]]}}</ref> In 2016, ''The Emigrants'' was also featured in the [[Gothenburg Film Festival]].<ref name="Mälarstedt">{{cite web |url=http://www.sydsvenskan.se/2016-01-30/manniskan-i-en-monter-jan-troell-gjorde-film-av-4300-ar-gamla-utvandrare |title=Människan i en monter.

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
The film received mostly positive reviews.{{sfn|Roberts|2007|p=125}}
''The Emigrants'' has an approval rating of 94% on [[review aggregator]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]], based on 17 reviews, and an average rating of 9/10.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_emigrants | title=The Emigrants &#124; Rotten Tomatoes | website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] }}</ref> 
[[Roger Ebert]] gave it four stars, praising it as a "masterpiece", "infinitely absorbing and moving", and likely more accurate than traditional stories about [[History of immigration to the United States|immigration to the United States]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-emigrants-1973|title=The Emigrants|last=Ebert|first=Roger|author-link=Roger Ebert|date=15 January 1973|access-date=27 November 2016|website=[[RogerEbert.com]]|publisher=Ebert Digital LLC}}</ref> [[Richard Schickel]] wrote in ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' that "Jan Troell has made ''the'' masterpiece about the dream that shaped America - a dream, and an America, fast disappearing from our views".<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Schickel |first1=Richard |author-link=Richard Schickel |year=1972 |title=When America was a dream |magazine=[[Life (magazine)|Life]] |issue=October 13 |pages=28 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yFYEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA28| access-date=2010-01-21}}</ref> [[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' hailed the acting performances, especially from von Sydow and Ullmann, which he found to hold "a kind of spontaneous truth, in look and gesture, that does a lot to relieve the otherwise programed nobility, truth and beauty". However, Canby criticized Troell for excessive views of "sunlight-reflected-in-water that becomes just one too many, a thing of movie decoration".<ref name="Canby"/> In ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'', [[Judith Crist]] praised the film as "exquisite",{{sfn|Crist|1972|p=86}} and wrote that the depiction of history "throbs with flesh and blood".{{sfn|Crist|1972|p=87}} In ''[[5001 Nights at the Movies]]'', [[Pauline Kael]] declared the film is "A bursting, resonant work".{{sfn|Kael|2011|p=216}}

In his ''2015 Movie Guide'', [[Leonard Maltin]] gave the film three stars, calling it "Solid if rambling".{{sfn|Maltin|2014}} [[Dave Kehr]] recalled it as overrated, calling it "Uncommitted, tedious, and often dishonest".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/the-emigrants/Film?oid=1065988 |title=The Emigrants |last=Kehr |first=Dave |access-date=27 November 2016|work=[[Chicago Reader]]|date=8 February 1985 }}</ref> In 2016, the Swedish journal ''[[Sydsvenskan]]'' recalled ''The Emigrants'' as a classic.<ref name="Mälarstedt"/>

Immigration historian Roger Daniels has called the film "outstanding," as well as "arguably the finest social history in a commercial movie."<ref>{{Cite book |title=Coming to America: A History of Immigration and Ethnicity in American Life |last=Daniels |first=Roger |publisher=[[Harper Perennial]] |year=2002 |isbn=0-06-050577-X |edition=2nd |location=New York, NY |pages=167 |url=https://archive.org/details/comingtoamericah0000dani_02ed/page/166/mode/2up?q=film}}</ref>

===Accolades===

==Legacy==
[[File:Jan-troell-2009-05-22.jpg|thumb|''The Emigrants'' helped make [[Jan Troell]] prominent internationally.]]
The sequel, ''[[The New Land (1972 film)|The New Land]]'' (''Nybyggarna''), was released in 1972. The 1974 U.S. television series ''[[The New Land (TV series)|The New Land]]'' is based loosely on both ''The Emigrants'' and its sequel.{{sfn|Brooks|Marsh|1995|p=738}} The creation of the TV series can be attributed to the popularity of the films.<ref name="Rafferty">{{cite web |url=https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/3899-the-emigrants-the-new-land-homelands |title=The Emigrants/The New Land: Homelands |last=Rafferty |first=Terrence |date=9 February 2016 |access-date=27 November 2016|work=[[The Criterion Collection]]}}</ref> In Sweden, the musical ''[[Kristina från Duvemåla]]'' by [[Björn Ulvaeus]] and [[Benny Andersson]], formerly of [[ABBA]] fame, was designed partly in reaction to Troell's films, particularly in differences in the set.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/scenrecensioner/goteborgsoperan-kristina-fran-duvemala/ |title=Göteborgsoperan: 'Kristina från Duvemåla' |last=Nyström |first=Martin |date=27 October 2014 |access-date=28 November 2016|work=[[Dagens Nyheter]]}}</ref> Troell also gave his approval to [[Daniel Espinosa]] to make a new ''Emigrants'' film adaptation in 2015,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/film-tv/svenska-storfilmer-presenterades-i-cannes/ |title=Svenska storfilmer presenterades i Cannes |last=Lindblad |first=Helena |date=16 May 2015 |access-date=28 November 2016|work=[[Dagens Nyheter]]}}</ref> which was ultimately not produced.

The two films were considered to give [[Jan Troell]] his "international breakthrough".{{sfn|Lunde|2015|p=232}} They led to his receiving, and accepting, an offer from [[Warner Bros.]] to make ''[[Zandy's Bride]]'', one of the first times a prominent Swedish director moved to Hollywood since the 1920s.{{sfn|Lunde|2015|p=232}}
