Ronja the Robber's Daughter (known in the GDR under the title Ronja, the Robber's Daughter ) is a Swedish film from 1984. It is based on the children's book of the same name by Astrid Lindgren . The feature film is occasionally seen on television as a three-part mini- series. The film was first shown in Germany in February 1985 as part of the Berlinale .
action
Ronja is the daughter of the robber chief Mattis and his wife Lovis. She grows up on Mattisburg in the Mattiswald together with her parents and their band of robbers, until one day she meets Birk Borkasohn, the son of the enemy robber chief Borka and his wife Undis. Their clan (the Borkaräuber) has nested in a part of the Mattisburg building that was separated from the main building by a lightning strike. This part has been called the Borkafeste ever since.
By helping each other in tricky situations, Ronja and Birk quickly become best friends, much to the annoyance of their antagonistic parents, who oppose the deep friendship of the children. When Mattis takes Birk prisoner and Ronja therefore hands herself into Borka's hands, the conflict between the two clans escalates. Ronja and Birk move into a cave in the forest together. Mattis' longing for his daughter finally moves him to enter into a dialogue with Borka in order to resolve the conflict.
background
The film adaptation of Ronja the robber's daughter was overshadowed by two bereavements. The director Olle Hellbom , who prepared the filming, died of stomach cancer shortly before the shooting and was replaced by Tage Danielsson , who died of skin cancer shortly after the film was completed.
The miniseries is about 15 minutes longer (135 minutes) than the feature film version (121 minutes) and thus contains some scenes that were not in the theatrical version. Both versions are now available on DVD.
Ronja remained Hanna Zetterberg's only role as an actress. From 1994 to 1998 she sat for the Vänsterpartiet as a member of the Swedish parliament .

Reviews
“The lovable, optimistic, funny and exciting adventure fairy tale based on the novel by Astrid Lindgren impresses with its excellent actors and great technical care. A film for children that adults can also enjoy. "
“Certainly one of the most successful Astrid Lindgren films that tells a poetic, romantic story of friendship and makes the characters in the novel flesh and blood. The excellent camera work captures images of animals and nature of breathtaking beauty. Director Tage Danielsson succeeded in creating a rousing, exciting and humorous children's film in which the imagination knows no bounds and which enchants young and old. "
"Clever, original Astrid Lindgren film, in which the children once again look wiser than the adults."
The film was included in a 14- film canon for children aged 6 to 12 years by the Federal Association of Youth and Film and the specialist journal Kinder- und Jugendfilm-Korrespondenz .
