Gertrud Kanning:
I was thinking about your creed, remember?
Gabriel Lidman: I don't know what you mean.
Gertrud Kanning: No, one never remembers everything, but the creed went: 'I believe in the pleasure of the flesh and the irreparable loneliness of the soul.'
Gabriel Lidman: Oh yes. That sounds like me.

I was completely shocked when I first saw this masterpiece, and I still get shocked every time I see it again.
Dreyer's long and austere takes will not, of course, be liked by many, easy-goers, because he achieved by them to tell the unspeakable, he reached true Art. But to appreciate this means to have previously developed and refined one's taste, a tough effort which unfortunately not everybody is willing to make. And I say unfortunately because when eventually getting to understand Dreyer's idiom you'll find out that what it can tell you is much greater and soul-satisfying that anything you can get via other more readily-understandable ways.
