Peer Gynt 是挪威现实主义剧作家Henrik Johan Ibsen(易卜生)的一部作品,在挪威是广为流传的。关键是“扑朔迷离的梦幻境界和形象。
According to Klaus Van Den Berg – “is a stylistic minefield: its origins are romantic, but the play also anticipates the fragmentations of emerging modernism. Chronicling Peer’s journey from the Norwegian mountains to the North African desert, the cinematic script blends poetry with social satire and realistic scenes with surreal ones. The irony of isolated individuals in a mass society infuses Ibsen’s tale of two seemingly incompatible lovers—the deeply committed Solveig and the superficial Peer, who is more a surface for projections than a coherent character.”
