Hamsun

Hamsun (1996)

Knut Hamsun (1859-1952), un admirado escritor noruego, que consiguió el premio Nobel en 1920, era considerado un héroe en su país. Sin embargo, tras el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la invasión de Noruega por los nazis, Hamsun apoyó a Hitler e incluso mantuvo un encuentro con él. Desde entonces se le consideró un traidor a su patria y, terminada la guerra, fue desposeido de sus bienes. También su vida matrimonial con Marie (Ghita Norby), una escritora de cuentos infantiles, fue conflictiva. Tras su muerte, su obra cayó en el olvido hasta tal punto que no hay en toda Noruega una sola calle o plaza con su nombre.

Hamsun is a 1996 internationally co-produced drama film directed by Jan Troell and written by Per Olov Enquist, about the later life of the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun, who, together with his wife Marie Hamsun, went from being a national hero to a traitor after supporting Nazi Germany during their occupation of Norway during World War II.

Production

The plans for the film have a history from 1979, when Thorkild Hansen, the author of the book Processen mod Hamsun contacted Troell since he wanted him to direct a Norwegian television series based on the book. Max von Sydow was meant to do the part as Hamsun already then, but NRK dropped out on the project in the belief that it would be too controversial.

Fourteen years later, in 1993, von Sydow brought the project back to life when he got the Danish production company Nordisk Film interested in adapting the book, this time with Per Olov Enquist, who had written Troell's previous film Il Capitano, providing the screenplay.

The shooting took place during the spring and the summer of 1995, with a budget of around 40 million SEK. The most expensive scene filmed, in which Marie Hamsun witnesses the attack and the sinking of the German cruiser Blücher in the Oslofjord at the Battle of Drøbak Sound on 9 April 1940, was cut from the finished product.
