Ordet
Ordet (1955) 120 min. One of the last films by the legendary Danish director is an overpowering parable of religious bigotry, lost faith and ultimate resurrection. The subtle sculpting of light and shadow help focus the mood, and the intensity of each shot’s composition and duration, making Ordet one of the most inspiring achievements of Dreyer’s career.
