Gertrud

I believe this is the last film by the master Carl Theodor Dreyer. Almost no modern audiences will appreciate this, but film buffs should definitely check it out. NOTE: is it just me or do none of the characters look at each other when they talk, throughout almost the entire movie?

Masterpiece of static camerawork. Dreyer wrote and shot this work as a series of conversations a deux, with nearly immobile long takes and minimalist performances. Slow pace of film creates its own tempo. Worth a look.
