If you loved Day of Wrath, try Gertrud
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Day of Wrath, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Gertrud is
A woman hunts for perfect love in a museum of outmoded feelings. She leaves her husband for a pianist who can’t quite fill the silence between them, then watches another past flame fizzle again. The camera holds her sighing exit like a final exam she could never pass.
