Taking its stylistic inspiration from Rembrandt, the film captures the lives of an elderly farmer couple, Teodor and Asta Svensson, who are the last of their breed. Inspired by Peter Watkin's comment that no shot on American TV lasts longer man seven seconds, Jarl decided to make a film where no shot lasts less than seven seconds! Ironically subtitled "A Contribution to Anthropological Research". To live and work in harmony with nature will shortly no longer be possible. Time Has No Name is probably the documentary in which Stefan Jarl has attained the highest results with sound and photography. So high that someone has called the film the poetry of reality.
“An excellent film with excellent cinematography.”
/Nestor Almendros, Oscar-winning cinematographer
“It´s a sad and lovely film, whose tacit plea is for a recognition of life's wholeness over the brutality of economics.”
