THE EMIGRANTS and THE NEW LAND, the incredible pair of films made by Swedish director Jan Troell in the early 1970s, remain two of the most authentic and powerful cinema portrayals of the mid-nineteenth-century wave of emigration from Europe to the United States. For our release of these films, we were fortunate to have the chance to speak with Ullmann, who recounted her experience making the film. In the clip below, watch the actor reflect on Troell’s filmmaking genius, as revealed in one the film’s most poignant scenes.
