Ole Palsbo

Died in 1952

Ole Palsbo was born in Copenhagen in 1909. A journalist, then a film and theatre critic for several of the capital's newspapers, he argued for a more serious and more realistic Danish cinema. During the occupation he made information documentaries, then moved to fiction in 1946. He shot five feature films in six years and became one of the most noted realists of the post-war period. Pushed aside by Nordisk Film during the shooting of his last film, he took his own life in 1952, shortly after its release.
