Aro Recommended Ordet

 

Denmark 1955, 119 minutes, B/W
Dir. Carl Dreyer
In Danish with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama, Classics

Topics: Religion.

 

Aroview: Hailed by many critics as dir. Dreyer's masterpiece, this deep exploration of the true meaning of Christianity, set in rural Denmark, will repay the patience required for its slow style.

Adapted from a play by Kaj Munk, the Calvinist themes of true vs. orthodox faith are personified in a family feud that flares when two youngsters fall in love. Features one of the great jaw-dropping finales in all of cinema.
