Directed by Bo Widerberg and inspired by the famous John Lindstrom Saxon ballad, this classic Swedish film centres on circus performer Elvira Madigan (Pia Degermark) and army officer Sixten Sparre (Thommy Berggren). Both have run away from their lives - Elvira from her family's circus, Sixten from the army, his wife and his children. Meeting in a forest, they instantly fall in love and the outside world becomes meaningless. But as summer turns to winter and without food and money, the tragedy of the young lovers' situation becomes apparent. This tale of doomed love is one of the most beautiful films ever shot, with Mozart's exquisite piano concerto no. 21 providng the soundtrack.
