About Tree of Knowledge
As a group of Danish children pass into adolescence, gradually the most popular girl becomes an outcast, for trivial reasons that she never understands.
Directed by Nils Malmros, Tree of Knowledge leans on a strong ensemble — Eva Gram Schjoldager, Jan Johansen, Line Arlien-Søborg — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1981.
