I may well have the best choice for you. Though I am aware (as you are too), that movies made a long time ago will often have a slower tempo, and as a result many people living now may find them boring. You can assess whether this would be a handikapp for you. (It is also a problem for many (most?) Swedish film lovers.
The movie I have in mind is "A Woman Without a Face" (Kvinna utan ansikte), which was made in 1947. Ingmar Bergman wrote the manuscript, but the movie was directed Gustaf Molander.
[A curiosity. The Swedish title has no article, the English version has the indeterminate title, and the Danish version has the determinate article.]
The Dutch enterprise Moskwood Media published the DVD. The special domain of this firm is its primary concern with movies from the former Soviet states.
I took out my own DVD. Looking at the Box I cannot find any indication of subtitles. But it is not easy to believe that a Dutch firm would publish a little known Swedish movie without subtitles.
I wrote the plot summary.
I am an immigrant in Sweden. I was one month less that 19. I add this because at that time I thought that the two best movies I had seen before my immigration was "A Woman Without a Face" and "L'épave" (aka "The Wreck", "Sin and Desire) by Willy Roziers.
I shall watch the movie now. Maybe I can give you more information afterwards.
