The interplay of light and shadow is so delicate that it interprets a religious dirge of despair. Before and after meeting Martin, Anni was completely different. Previously, he was submissive and repressed, but then his pupils and limbs were filled with the power that seemed to ignore the darkness, happy and rebellious. Like her mother and the old woman, this may be "witchcraft" that cannot be tolerated in the world. A scream at the stake, followed by ethereal children's hymns; taking on...

Dreyer's talkies are nowhere near the great films of the silent era. This is the same calm and depressing as "Ge Chu". The indoor scenes account for most of it. It is indeed very powerful, but the overall perception hardly makes me empathize. Movies with religious implication may be ruthlessly shut down by me. Come...

[8] One of Dreyer's works, one of my favorites. Women who were condemned as heretics, one was unfaithful to God and the other was unfaithful to her husband (priest). Freedom of religion and freedom of love are tightly intertwined. The allegory of merging the two into one transcends the piercing reality in The Witch of Salem. The whole film is still not like a movie, but a stage play with excellent light and shadow. Crosses, blood, soul-soothing songs, poetry collections, rafting, quills, and...

The biggest doubt is whether there is a god in Dreyer's world. If the preconceived influence of "Words" is thrown away, there are two ways to interpret the film. If there is no God here, the death of the priest is a function of sin, shock and pain. The heroine's confession became a desperate...

There is indeed a feeling of reading a world famous book, classic, serious,...

Impressed! The immortal fairy that cannot be surpassed - Dreyer! Whether it is light modeling, scene scheduling, or the use of different scenes, it is full of magical power beyond imagination. It is still the contradiction between love and faith, full of poetry! 97...

8/10. Dramatic lighting, rigid shadows and hoarse chanting, a technical obsession with frontal shots paired with the slow pace of editing and camera marching, the foggy burning scene contrasts the idyllic love scene. Dreyer used the ghostly religious environment to wrap up a small-scale investigation of family ethics, but what led to the moral anxiety that was repeatedly expanded in the film history in the future: Who is the real demagogic...

The conflict between two concepts of death. Through "contemplation of death", men try to use their faith to pacify their own destiny, but they can't escape from the sickbed and the coffin, because the end itself cannot be thought about, but can only be experienced through fear ; Only the brave can be afraid. Women "dare to be afraid of death", so they have obtained the highest certainty of fantasy - what is the fatal malediction? It is nothing more than an announcement of the unconditional...
