The Settlers

OSCAR NOMINATED FOR BEST FOREIGN FILM

FIVE WASPS "THE NEW CONSTRUCTORS COMPLETE THE MASTERPIECE" Expressen

"NOT JUST AN EXTRAORDINARY SWEDISH FILM, IT ALSO DESERVES A PLACE AMONG THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FILMS EVER MADE ABOUT THE USA" Variety

Karl Oskar and Kristina have reached America and look out over the beautiful lake Ki-Chi-Saga. Here Karl Oskar chooses a place for his house. Here he will settle with his family and here his children will grow up. But they have to work hard to survive, in a fight against harsh winters, rebellious natives and perhaps worst of all – their homesickness.

The second and final part of the film adaptation of Vilhelm Moberg's grand national epic is as overwhelming an experience as The Emigrants and is just as often mentioned as one of the most important works in Swedish film history. Like its predecessor, The Settlers became the year's biggest box office success in Sweden and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Experience the masterpiece digitally restored – for the first time on Blu-ray!
