Scandinavian films have always excited sensitive cinema lovers with their spiritual quests and deep dramatic plots. Denmark, Sweden and Norway established their cinematic studios. During the World Wars period, their role in European film production become even more significant, and they affirm themselves as some of the most productive countries in the field.
Later Scandinavian countries gave the world cinema masters like Carl Dreyer and Ingmar Bergman, who don't fear bringing up the big questions of life and look for the truth of humanity in their dark gloomy dramas. Their films are distinguishable by the clear stage settings; the raw characters on the verge of existential crisis; and the themes, which are concentrated on eternal human dilemmas, the need of God for making sense of the world around us, and the relationships between people, affected from the tragedies of life, alienation and loneliness.
