Celebrating Edith Carlmar! "Edith Carlmar was not only Norway’s first female director, but she made what is considered to be country’s first film noir (Death Is a Caress) and introduced the great actress Liv Ullman to audiences around the world with The Wayward Girl (1960). All of her films were box-office hits, which means she is one of the most successful directors in Norwegian history." Read more in Film at Lincoln Center's Who Is Edith Carlmar?

The Wayward Girl | Ung flukt (1959) "...a surprisingly vital film, with a vibrant Liv Ullmann in her screen debut.”  Read more on The Association of European Cinematheques' A SEASON OF CLASSIC FILMS: ‘THE WAYWARD GIRL’ BY EDITH CARLMAR.

Fools in the Mountains | Fjols til fjells (1957)

"One of the most popular Norwegian films of all time, actress and director Edith Carlmar’s Fools in the Mountains (1957) is exactly what one might expect from a situational comedy. Characters mistake characters for other characters, making for confusion and frustration among the cast but great fun for the audience." Read more in The Hot Pink Pen's Norwegian Favorite ‘Fools in the Mountains’ is a Situational Comedic Treat.

Death Is a Caress | Døden er et kjærtegn (1949)

"The movie’s looming menace offers a glimpse at the essential tragic conflict between sex and society, between a woman’s public life and her intimate yearnings." Read more in Richard Brody's Rare Classic Films by Female Directors in The New Yorker.
