Review of Gertrud (1964) by Paul J — 28 Apr 2009
Dreyer's final film comes across contrived and stagey. Until you realize that that's the point. What a career this Danish filmmaker has had. From Vampyr to Gertrud, it's clear that he's continuously experimenting and pushing his boundaries.
Gertrud is unlike anything else in 64'. Like Kubrick, Dreyer takes his time and tries to say something original and piercing. In Gertrud he succeeds.
