'Hans Nielsen Hauge' is a Norwegian film from 1961 direected by Kre Bergstrm. It is a dramatization of the life of the lay minister Hans Nielsen Hauge (17711824). The film received a lukewarm reception from 'Verdens Gang's reviewer, who gave it three out of six stars.

Plot



The film opens in 1804, when Crown Prince Regent Frederick is ruling DenmarkNorway. The Royal Danish Chancellery has issued an arrest warrant for Hans Nielsen Hauge. The arrest warrant is sent to all the county governors in Norway, and Hauge is taken to Christiania in irons. The film follows the trial against Hauge. An impression of his past life and work is given in retrospect. The case against Hauge lasted many years because Copenhagen found no reason to hurry. This was a turning point in Norway, and Napoleon was building an empire in Europe. The case was not concluded until 1813.
