GERTRUD (1964, DENMARK)



My own personal March movie madness. My goal is make 31 posts in 31 days about 31 movies. They all must be non-U. S. films that I haven’t seen before. Why do I make this stipulation? Don’t know exactly, by we all have to have goals, don’t we?

Day eight, from the Kingdom of Denmark
Gertrud (1964)

The final film of Carl Dreyer is definitely not for everyone. It can come across as old-fashioned, depressing, uneventful and humorless. That doesn't mean I didn't like it; I just didn’t dance to it.
