A Homeless Bird

1911 · 42 min
2.0 / 10 · TMDB

Musical Magda has three suitors – the insidious bank clerk Hilmer, the kind-hearted Dr. Dyring and the nice supreme court attorney Hatting. Much to Dyring’s annoyance, Hatting is the first to pluck up the courage and propose, and Magda soon becomes Mrs. Hatting. After a few years, she becomes bored of the marriage and decides to leave her husband, children and home in favour of the dishonest Hilmer. However, it doesn’t take long before she takes off her rose-tinted glasses and sees Hilmer for who he really is. (Stumfilm.dk)

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a moral tale about desire and consequence, relying on clear archetypes to portray a woman's restless search for fulfillment. It explores the tension between societal duty and personal passion through silent-era expressiveness.

What lingers after viewing is a poignant reflection on illusion and reality, framed by the cinematic language of 1910s melodrama. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Gunnar Helsengreen

Best experienced with live piano accompaniment, in a dimly lit room to match its vintage tone.
