Vad kvinnan vill

About This Movie

Vad kvinnan vill is a rather fascinating piece from 1927, presenting a story about Harry Willis, who's quite the character – a real slob and bacchant, if you will. The film has this almost languid pace that reflects the chaotic life Harry leads, which culminates in his abandonment by his wife Maggi. The performances, while perhaps not polished by today’s standards, have this raw authenticity that draws you in. There's a certain charm in its simplicity, and it’s interesting to think about what the filmmakers were aiming for in terms of societal commentary on relationships. The atmosphere feels very much like a time capsule of the late 1920s, and it's worth watching for that alone.

This film, a silent gem, is somewhat elusive in terms of availability and often overlooked in collector circles. Formats are limited, with original prints being quite rare, making it a curious find for those interested in early cinema. Its scarcity and the rich, albeit rough, storytelling make it a noteworthy piece for enthusiasts who appreciate silent film and the nuanced narratives of that era.
