Dreyers Gertrud
It was admired by few and rejected by many. Carl Th. Dreyer's last film "Gertrud" already generated strong reactions worldwide at its premiere in 1964 and was controversially received. Produced in Denmark and featuring a number of popular actors, "Gertrud" still managed to place itself miles away from the folk comedies and weekly magazine adaptations that otherwise dominated Danish cinema at the time. This is the fascinating, and at times tragic, story of the making of one of the most unique works in film history.
