Curiozități

The Wings is a 1916 Swedish silent film directed by Mauritz Stiller, starring Nils Asther, Egil Eide, Lars Hanson, Lili Bech, and Julius Hälsig. It was based on Herman Bang's 1902 novel Mikaël, which was the same source Carl Theodor Dreyer used for his 1924 film Michael.

Background

All of the principal personnel involved with the film were gay, including the author Herman Bang, whose book the film was based on, the director Mauritz Stiller, and the screenwriter Axel Esbensen. Although homosexuality was illegal in Sweden in 1916, both the book and the film are "surprisingly frank in their portrayal of the homoeroticism central to the plot.
