sir arne's treasure 1919
directed by mauritz stiller
camera by julius jaenzon
i sought out this film because of the set design, but watching the location shooting took my breath away. julius jaenzon, the cinematographer, was largely responsible for moving outside of the studio to capture the natural beauty of the land. he eventually went into teaching- one student was ingmar bergman's cinematographer, sven nykvist.
as in the chess player, the camera movement is remarkable. i have no idea how such smooth movement of the camera over the rough terrain is even possible. the naturalistic acting, the close matching of film speed plus this camera movement make this film feel contemporary.
