Summary of Sofie
Adapted from a 1932 Danish novel, Sofie tells the tale of a young Jewish woman in the Copenhagen of the 1880s. At 28, Sofie (Karen-Lise Mynster) is unmarried and fills her days with books. Longing for a man in her life, Sofie finally embarks on an affair with Hojby, a dashing, intelligent artist. Her parents, unable to accept a gentile into the family, instead push her into a marriage with her dimwitted piano-playing cousin, Jonas. Giving up her youthful dreams of true love, she follows her parents' wishes to find that hardship is a recurrent theme in her life. Liv Ullman's directorial debut is ripe with beautiful photography and emotional resonance.
