Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
Ronia lives happily in her father's castle until she comes across a new playmate, Birk, in the nearby dark forest. The two explore the wilderness, braving dangerous Witchbirds and Rump-Gnomes. But when their families find out Birk and Ronia have been playing together, they forbid them to see each other again. Indeed, their fathers are competing robber chieftains and bitter enemies. Now the two spunky children must try to tear down the barriers that have kept their families apart for so long.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The acting in this movie is really good.

This is a true masterpiece. Brought to you by one of the most notorious and thoughtful directors in Swedish history of film, together with one of our most renown authors - Astrid Lindgren - the one that wrote the stories about Pippi Longstockings amongst many others.In Ronja Rövardotter, you'll be able to experience some of the mysteries and part of the beauty that enshrouds Sweden. Our stunning nature and the alluring folklore are two of the things Lindgren has used to help create a foundation for this story to grow on. Unlike many other movies, it can be seen by both children and adults, as it teaches everyone important lessons about life... and brings forth creatures and beings that only the fantasy of a master-author could come up with. It is partly a grim tale, but the more-part is about love and friendship and how we can learn to understand one-another better.If you like fantasy and adventure movies, you'll probably love Ronja. If you like nature and beautiful scenery, you'll probably love Ronja. Personally, I think this movie is a must-see for everyone and gave it a 10. My own rate would've been 8 1/2, but seeing as how some weirdos had given it an 1, it deserved the boost in grade.I hope that it has been translated or dubbed to English, but if not, I may try to fix a subtitle file for it in case anyone might be interested.
We watch this movie every year in December at the U film society (mnfilmarts.org) It's got English subtitles too. I just can't figure out where they got it. I only see a reference to an apparently non-existent US distributor called 1900 distributing. I just bought a DVD of it from a UK web site. Swedish language only. My wife understands Swedish, my son and I will have to learn ;). After an exhaustive online search, I found it available in all the Scandanavian languages on DVD and German on VHS. Sigh. Bloody thing is ONLY in region 2 and pal format too of course... Double sigh... Still, HIGHLY recommended. I suppose someday we'll see the film version with subtitles released on DVD.
Ronja Rövardotter is one of the most brilliant films existing. The book has always been one of my favourites and I was a little bit afraid that the film wouldn't be good enough. When I saw it for the first time I loved it from the very first moment! It's perfect! There's hardly any film which catches you that much like Ronja Rövardotter does. The music is GREAT! All these wild robbers dancing and singing (and running naked out into the snow!). Wonderful! If you haven't seen it: DO!!!! You'll get enchanted!
Here in South-America is really difficult to see European movies. A Swedish friend invites me to see it, in an film festival. I went to see "Ronja" without knowing anything about the story, just the title. It was a magnificent surprise! I loved the characters, the story, and this lovely girl Ronja. It's like a dream, I felt like a child looking at the dreams in the movie. This film proves to me that children are the same in all the world, no matter his/her country or his/her beliefs. Their innocence can make the world a better place.Don't miss "Ronja". I hope someday I could see it with my sons and daughters.
