Carl Dreyer's "Ordet".
After the film ended, we sat in silence, because our reactions and responses were too vulnerable to share.
Reconciliation, Faith, and Resurrection.
A perfect film for Holy Week - if not, simply a perfect film.
"The strangeness of Ordet is something that no number of viewings, God willing, will rub off. I want to stress this strangeness. That Ordet is a great film, one of the greatest ever made, only a rash or foolish person will deny. But even less than with other great films can we afford to let the category of greatness limit our response, because Ordet demands more from us, and has more to give, than almost any other film." -Chris Fujiwara
Based on a play by Kaj Munk, a Danish pastor martyred by the Nazis in 1944.
