SERIES DESCRIPTION

A towering figure of world cinema, Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer quietly pursued an uncompromising artistic vision throughout his long career. Crafting austere, emotionally charged films, Dreyer returned time and again to universal themes of spirituality, suffering and redemption, handling them always with an uncommon and profound humanism. This series traces Dreyer’s evolution, from his rarely seen first films to his final, celebrated masterworks.

The L Magazine on DREYER
"Only someone with an impassioned, intuitive belief in impossible occurrences could have directed films so radical in their sincere postulation of the miraculous, and Dreyer — an orphan of Swedish extraction who became Denmark’s most famous filmmaker — consistently produced revelations of the sublime, whether Christian, pagan or romantic."

ArtForum on DREYER
"One might...argue that unlike most other film masters who started out in the silent era, Dreyer’s major works were not only cinematically ahead of their own times; without ever becoming quite contemporary, they’ve even remained slightly ahead of ours." More
