Lit.: anonym: UK / BBC – Gudrun. In web Prix Marulić, květen 2021 (článek + nahrávka k poslechu + scénář v ENG). – Cit.:A little background… Gudrun’s Saga is based on the famous Icelanders‘ saga known as The Laxdoela Saga. Written in the 13th century, it tells of people in the Breiðafjörður area of Iceland from the late 9th century to the early 11th century. The saga particularly focuses on a love triangle between Gudrun, Kjartan and Bolli. Kjartan and Bolli grow up together but the love they both have for Gudrun causes enmity between them and, in the end, their deaths. The Laxdæla saga remains popular and appreciated for its poetic beauty and pathetic sentiment. Since the saga has often been regarded as an unusually feminine saga, it has been speculated that it was composed by a woman.

Gudrun has been a popular returning programme, and is approaching its seventh and final series. The episode we have included is both typical of the work, and unusual, in that it has only three characters, Gudrun, Freija (the goddess, who narrates) and a man that Gudrun in her delirium thinks may be Jesus. It is a simple love story, but also comes at the crux of Gudrun’s religious crisis, when she is thinking of abandoning the old gods in favour of the new. (…)
