Fishing is serious business

The Dangers in a Fisherman's Life (1907)

Directed by Juluis Jaenzon this film known as “Fiskerlivets Farer” in Norwegian stars Alma Lund and Henry Hagerup. A woman watches as her husband and son go out fishing in a row boat.

This is a pretty short and simple film but nicely covers the events and emotions of a drowning. It is hard to say a lot about such a simple film but it is historically important as the first film produced in Norway. As a start to an industry this is a pretty decent one and not a bad watch.


3/5
