    Dreyer's light and shadow, scene scheduling, camera language, connotation and emotional expression are all perfect. The irritability and noise of the witch in the first half of the film and the restraint and slowness in the second half form a very strong contrast, which is emotionally important to the audience. Mentality is a big test. I think no matter how cruel the execution is, the saddest thing is the betrayal and extreme emotional alienation that a person has to endure. This is the fuse...

    A kind of reflection, in that era, it was not so much about religious distortion of people, it was better to say that Denmark was under the influence of Nazi atrocities and control occupation at that time, the distortion of human nature and belief and the perversion of black and white, and the witch as a symbol. The existence of it is a symbol of the in-depth discussion of Nazi crimes through medieval witch trials. The film is extremely delicate and divine, from the movement of the camera to...

    The use of light is very particular, so that the originally simple close-up has a kaleidoscopic expression, and the long shot is full of meaning. The strong sound of the wind and the bell. I have to praise the play. The magic of this story is that it can be explained with and without witchcraft. This is actually the original face of witchcraft. And it can't be measured by pure dualism. In the end, the pastor is wrong and Annie is wrong. If you think about it carefully, you will find that it is...

    Birth of tragedy

    There are many literary and cinematic works about the tragic fate of medieval witches. Precisely the Middle Ages was also the most prosperous period of Christianity, and the power of the church could almost decide everything. It is this kind of arbitrary spirit and power rule that allows the people...

    [Film Review] Day of Wrath (1943) 7.5/10

    A 17th century drama about the antediluvian act of witchery persecution and the excruciating human benightedness inflicted by religious indoctrination, Carl Theodor Dreyer's DAY OF WRATH is a sublimely slow-paced threnody that sets to shock and awe.

    Prior to Ingmar Bergman's soul-searching felicity...
