Biography and Creativity
Schöberg is considered one of the largest directors in the history of the Swedish theater [1] . For fifty years, in 1930 - 1980 , he was the main director of the Royal Drama Theater in Stockholm, where he directed a large number of performances. Schöberg is considered the teacher of Ingmar Bergman [1] .
Schöberg also produced 18 films and became one of the pioneers of the theater on Swedish television. His television show Hamlet ( 1955 ) was an important milestone in Swedish television history. Georges Sadoule called his film “The Flurry” (1944) a subtle and carefully thought-out psychological picture, and about the film “Heavenly Way (1943) wrote:“ This film is characterized by the freshness and growth of the rise, so typical of previous masterpieces of Swedish cinematography ” [2] .
Schöberg twice won the main prize of the Cannes Film Festival , both times sharing it with other directors. In 1946 he was awarded the Grand Prix for the film Iris and the Lieutenant (that year the main prize was divided between eleven films, that is, almost all that were in the competition program), and in 1951 he became a laureate for the film Froken Julia ”with Vittorio de Sica (he was noted for the tape“ Miracle in Milan ”).
Schöberg died in a car accident on April 16, 1980, on his way to the Royal Drama Theater, where a rehearsal was to take place.
