About Charles XII
The film depicts the life of Charles XII of Sweden who oversaw the expansion of the Swedish Empire until its defeat at the Battle of Poltava. It was the most expensive production in Swedish history when it was made, and inspired a string of large budget Swedish historical films
Directed by John W. Brunius, Charles XII leans on a strong ensemble — Gösta Ekman, Bengt Djurberg, Augusta Lindberg — 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 1925.
