Review of Ordet (1955) by Mitchell W — 20 Dec 2015
Does more to make you understand faith than any other film. This picture is indeed slow and difficult to watch, building to a draining, horrific climax...but the final minutes are an unforgettable experience.
Without giving anything away, a family devastated by enormous loss is asked to believe in something truly insane. Nothing, not logic nor the grim story we've witnessed up to this point, gives them any concrete reason to do so.
But there is one person who does, and there's nothing like those final moments anywhere else in cinema.
