In 1923, Victor Sj str m (1879-1960) got an offer from Goldwyn
Pictures to come to Hollywood. This was nothing unusual for a
successful European director: -Metro's bring - ing them in by car
load , as Photoplay stated in 1926. At the time, Sj str m was
Sweden's most renowned director, who had become world famous for
his austere and naturalistic film style. Sj str m stayed in
Hollywood for seven years and made nine films. What happened during
those years to the characteristic style that he had developed in
Sweden? How was it transformed by Hollywood? Did he maintain any of
his stylistic particularities from the Swedish period? How were his
Hollywood films received by the American and Swedish critics? This
portrayal of a European in Hollywood reveals how Sj str m, in
adapting to the new production system, integrated and developed
various stylistic elements from the Swedish years in a radically
different context. Transition and Transformation is the first
book-length study dedicated to the films of Victor Sj str m made in
Hollywood, which also nuances the picture of the American
production system.
