Watching Alf Sjöberg’s “Miss Julie”
Abstract
August Strindberg’s Miss Julie has been adapted for the screen many times. The first screen version, which was also the first censored film (1911), was directed by Anna Hofmann-Uddgren. It should be noted that Strindberg included in a preface to the play some postulates that could be interpreted as anticipation of later postulates of cinema aesthetics. Discussing synthetically the play’s screen versions, Szczepański focuses on Sjöberg’s film (1951), which although slightly distorted Strindberg’s intentions (was in the poetics of the hallucinogenic realism of the playwright’s later plays), it helped to popularize them worldwide.
