About Smile, Emil
Katja and Emil is a young couple living and having a good time together. Emil is meditating, writing and drawing, often absorbed in his own fantasies. Katja is working, single mom with a structured life. She is attracted to Emil's sense for fantasy, trying to reach into it. When Emil leaves for a six month hitch hike tour, Katja stays at home. Each of them is now on their own to make new acquaintances and experiences.
Directed by Jesper Høm, Smile, Emil leans on a strong ensemble — Birger Jensen, Elsebeth Reingaard, Lisbet Lundquist — 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 1969.
