A Nordic drama/relationships movie

Tools    





Hi all,

Looking for help identifying a movie. I recall that it aired as part of the Showcase Revue back in the 1990s. I think it was a Scandinavian movie and the plot involved the male protagonist who was in a relationship with his girlfriend but was having an affair with one of the girlfriend’s female friends, who was a woman priest. The truth comes out and the couple breaks up (he had a child with his girlfriend) but I think it ends with the male protagonist going to a church service and he and the woman priest are looking at each other and realizing that they have unresolved feelings for each other.

Thanks!



I have a question about the "woman priest". Does this indicate a specific branch of Christianity, or is a "woman minister/pastor" a different/better way to describe her?



TBH I don’t recall any specifics of the church or what denomination, other than that the female character was dressed in some formal clothing for the religious service. Otherwise, she may have been a pastor or minister also.

I will point out that the dominant sect of Christianity in Scandinavia is Lutheranism. Lutheranism allows women to be priests, and allows priests to be married and have children. I would therefore guess that the "woman priest" was a Lutheran priest.



Maybe:

A truly beautiful movie with many qualities if you like to watch an intense drama based in the 1800's rural Norway. Based upon acclaimed writer and Norwegian national independence hero Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson's novel "The fisher girl" (orig. Fiskerjenten) from 1968, this is a great view of the 1800's Norwegian farming community.

Young and wild flower Petra is driven away from her western Norwegian small town after engaging to marry nothing less than three young men. She runs towards the capitol Kristiania (later renamed today's Oslo), and lies her way into a vicarage with a Danish widowed priest and her daughter, which she befriends. But after a while her lies catches up with her.

Not that one. The movie I am thinking of took place in late 1980s or early 1990s. Not a period movie. Thanks!



Thanks but not it.



Not the one but you helped me find the movie because the actress was in both. My movie was Restless (Levottomat). Thank you!
