Under the Sun

| 25 December 1998 (USA)

Olof lives alone on his family's farm after the death of his mother. Unable to read and write, he is dependent on his younger friend, Erik, who helps him in the afternoons. Once a sailor, Erik brags of having known hundreds of women. Out of the blue, Olof advertises in the local paper for a young lady housekeeper, and Ellen, a middle-class city woman, arrives to take over the house and, as the summer goes on, Olof's heart and Erik's desire as well.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Derry Herrera

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This WONDERFUL, beautiful, lovely film have been my all-time favorite movie ever sense the first time I saw it a couple of years ago.Olof is a lonely farmer somewhere in Sweden who have been living alone ever since his parents died. In secret he puts in an ad in the paper where he asks for a housekeeper but of course we all understand that what he really wants is a woman to love. One day Ellen shows up... A mysterious, beautiful woman who before summer is over have stolen Olofs heart. ... And seriously annoyed his best friend.This is truly a great movie! The pictures are fantastic and shows of the very best of hot, Swedish summers and sweet love between two very different people.

As a Turkish man currently living in Sweden I at least tried to watch Scandinavian movies. Gloomy, gloomy , no plot,impossible to understand. After ten minutes I fall asleep and than I'm happy I didn't have to watch it till the end. Compared to House of Angels they are equally bad. Helen Bergstrom and her demonic mouth annoyed me all the time. Films from Sweden are so messy. Everything about Sweden and their films are just terrible. It doesn't matter that this film is made by an Englishman, He has got too much impression from Sweden. He better leave for England before its too late. Couldn't anyone forbid Swedish films from being shown in public? Ahmed Sellam

"Under the Sun" is a bucolic, warm, charming, and sentimental story about a 40 year old Swedish farmer who hires an attractive housekeeper who tends to somewhat more than cooking and cleaning. He's illiterate with an inheritance, she's smart and pretty, and he has a young male friend who may be after both his money and the woman. A lovely bit of romantic melodrama laced with humor and rustic beauty which could steal your heart or make you gag depending on your taste. Recommended for more mature sentimentalists. (B)

The three leading actors all perform well but Rolf Lassgård makes an outstanding performance of the illiterate farmer who has never had a woman. Seeing this film in wintertime makes you long for a summer in the countryside. The photography is also of very high quality.
