Una joya del cine danés. Gracias por subirla.

@vinciano Anyway is still have to watch one or two important Bresson works like Diary of a Country Priest, one of Tarkovsky fav movies. What matters is that Dreyer's masterworks have a spiritual quality never attained by any Kubrick movies. Kubrick has been a great technician but rarely filmed a totally inspired movie (for me, his greatest works is the free-handed Strangelove)

I start to love Cinema thanx to Kubrick so you cant trust me when i write down i appreciate him very much. Bresson and Kubrick never film a powerful inspired movie like La Passion. People can watch it? I don't care. Repetitive? when?

@vinciano I really can't begin to think that the work of Bresson or Kubrick, what they had done with acting, is incomparable to that of Dreyer. While Dreyer carries nuance in his actors, his attention to detail is of a different sort than the likes of Kubrick or Bresson (who are each different too). Passion is a masterpiece - but can people watch it? Does it repeat certain traits? For me, it does repeat.

@touchogrey Kubrick is nothing compared to Dreyer. La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc and Vredens Dag are two authentic masterpiece. Gertrud and Ordet are masterful movies too. But on the same level of the former movies I put only Winter Light and Ivan the Terrible..

@DonFarshido Where does this leave Kubrick and Bresson and Ozu?

[DonFarshido]

Dreyer is cinema's Bach and achieved the most profound simplicity of them all. And no director in the history of movies has done what he did with actors. This film, Ordet and Gertrud are unmatchable in making every movement, every facial expression and every bit of vocal expression significant and mysterious, heartbrakingly real and openly orchestrated at the same time.

Mizoguchi, on the other hand, is cinema's Beethoven.
