Pedro Pet said...: This movie is marvellous.

The witch burning scene is one of my favorite movie deaths of all time.; 12:57 PM
joel65913 said...: I really had my reservations about this when I sat down to watch it but it was magnetically involving. I love when that happens especially with foreign film, which I usually find more challenging because of the language barrier. There are few things in moviedom worse than a bad foreign film!; 1:44 PM
Jason Adams said...: Every opportunity I get I will SELL SELL SELL this movie because it is fucking spectacular and we all have those same hesitations, Joel -- I always have to force myself to sit down to watch stuff like this, but sometimes it pays off and MAN does this one. I should've known though since everything I've seen of Dreyer's has been a masterpiece; 1:50 PM
joel65913 said...: I haven't seen too much else of Dreyer's work but I have seen his last film Gertrud which I liked but it wasn't in this film's league. However the lead actress Nina Pens Rode was utterly amazing in it.; 4:15 PM
