If you loved Gertrud, try Ordet
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 sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gertrud, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ordet is
Morten’s three sons split on God: Anders clings to devotion, Mikkel is an atheist, and Johannes insists he’s Christ. Inger’s grueling labor forces the family to confront what they truly believe. A frugal miracle unfolds under Dreyer’s bare chandeliers.
