Gertrud
In the last film made by Danish director and screenwriter Carl Theodor Dreyer (The Passion of Joan of Arc, Ordet), a former opera singer leaves an unfulfilling marriage in search of ideal love, but neither a passionate affair nor an older relationship rekindled provides what she seeks. When it was released in 1964, Gertrud divided critics and audiences, yet no less an authority than Jean-Luc Godard rated the film number one in his list of the best films of the year. Featuring a sublime performance by Nina Pens Rode in the title role, the film neatly crowns Dreyer’s distinguished career.
