Gabriel Lidman: Oh yes. That sounds like me.

One of the FINEST movies I've ever seen. A piece of TRUE ART!, 7 August 2001
10/10
Author: (uaxuctum@yahoo.es) from Madrid, Spain

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.
