If you loved The Passion of Joan of Arc, try Day of Wrath
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Day of Wrath has roughly 4.3× fewer votes than The Passion of Joan of Arc — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Passion of Joan of Arc, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Day of Wrath is
The Salem witch trials meet *Breaking the Waves*. A pastor’s wife in 1620s Denmark shelters a witch-hunted woman until village pressure turns her husband’s mercy into complicity. Her own spectral inheritance becomes inescapable. The cold Danish wind carries the whole thing.
