Henrik Ibsen documentary

Henrik Johan Ibsen (20 March 1828 - 23 May 1906) was a Norwegian playwright and theatre director. As one of the founders of modernism in theatre, Ibsen is often referred to as "the father of realism" and one of the most influential playwrights of his time. His major works include Brand, Peer Gynt, An Enemy of the People, Emperor and Galilean, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Wild Duck, When We Dead Awaken, Rosmersholm, and The Master Builder. Ibsen is the most frequently performed dramatist in the world after Shakespeare, and A Doll's House was the world's most performed play in 2006.

I miss these excellent documentaries from the 80s and 90s, they used to be on television regularly, now on Australian television never.

I have always enjoyed Ibsen, and Saw the Dolls House with Jane Fonda on TV and was blown away. Now I need to see them all acted since I have only read them...plays must be seen.

Darkest humanity. How he wrote from a woman's point of view during that time is pure prophetic genius, but he melds women and men as both faulted. He somehow both erases and enhances the lines between the sexes. The women grow masculine in power and voice and the men face their feminine in new weakness previously unchallenged.

a provocative brilliant life and work. Thank you.

Another good choice of authors to profile! It reminded of playing Peter Stockman in my high school version of The Enemy of the People.

This documentary has earned you a new subscriber. Thank you for uploading it. I came to know Ibsen thanks to some wonderful performances from the golden age of Romanian theatre, in the second half of the now past century. And I'm surprised to discover that the British choice of actors and actresses is outwardly quite similar.

Thank you! Big fan since I was 17...I was reading a lot of plays, mostly 20th C (Pinter, Beckett, Ionesco, Hansberry, Mamet, Hughes, and Kopit), picking mostly by the covers--!!-- at a second-hand book store. Two Ibsen plays were on the table (A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler) and, being Norwegian as my name reveals, I pounced. I was quite startled to see how long ago they'd been written vs. how current the issues were in each and every scene. I could completely relate. (e.g. me & my boyfriend!) James Joyce, as a young man @ 19, read Ibsen hungrily and began learning Norwegian in order to correspond with the playwright. Ibsen, then aging, kindly entered into a correspondence with Joyce and he had a foundational influence on the young writer, whose first book of stories (Portrait of an Artist) was not particularly unusual. However, Ibsen's extraordinary visions into his contemporary world and people surely also flung wide Joyce's gates for efforts such as Ulysses, with its many types of characters and daringly realistic scenes...Ibsen is just as psychologically true in 2022 as he was +/- 150 years ago. (We went to Norway in 2017, an unpopular time for Americans to go abroad...however, we were fortunate in our surname, which everyone in the nation appreciated! In Oslo, we walked along a boulevard leading to the Grand Hotel, where Ibsen would walk every day and sit, outside, at his reserved table (I think I'm getting this right), and have a refreshment...then back home. We went inside and the walls of this immense restaurant are frescoes of Ibsen. Really cool. This was August...the fjords were mindbending and I can't guess how people coped 150 years ago in winter. I suspect that this has to do with why my gradfather & great-uncle decided to leave and dive into the Montana forests.

[@adamodeo9320]

one must not forget that Anton Chekhov lived at the same time and he also "revolutionized" the theatre and what about Ibsen's arch-enemy August Strindberg? back in the eighties, and even nowadays, British documentaries were prejudiced against many subjects including the Bible - to some degree, England has kept wrongful ideas dating back to the 11th century - don't be fooled by the high-class accent.

The August Strindberg rivalry was over-blown Strindberg sent Ibsen a copy of his The Road to Damascus and called him The Master who I have learned much from!!!!!

Easily the best in this series, as befits such a great writer. 🤔 (The close-ups made possible by film & TV have been a boon for his work.) (Green Fire, UK) 🌈🦉

If the silly old uncle could watch a few of the porno films today! It has taken centuries for man to discover the true nature of woman.

If your a mother and cant provide the income for raising a family (house/bills) which requires 40hrs or more....its really really hard to raise a family, especially alone. Most men are willing to travel, work long stupid hours and do dangerous grueling jobs. Most women do not choose these jobs (work life) and that is completely ok. She is still wise and intelligent and magnificent without having to do that work life. One of the parents has to be the rock for the children..not all of us are blessed to be born with old money (rich family) to have the luxury to not work, to have all day to get a masters degree (because it requires time, investment, money and more stress) .
