Day of Wrath

1943, Movie, 1h 37min

Filmed during the Nazi occupation of Denmark, Carl Dreyer’s DAY OF WRATH (VREDENS DAG) is a harrowing account of individual helplessness in the face of growing social repression and paranoia. Anna, the young second wife of a well-respected but much older pastor, falls in love with her stepson when he returns to their small seventeenth-century village. Stepping outside the bounds of the village’s harsh moral code has disastrous results. Exquisitely photographed and passionately acted, DAY OF WRATH remains an intense, unforgettable experience.

It may not be one of my two favorite Dreyer masterpieces ('Ordet' and 'La passion de Jeanne d'Arc') but it's an unusual and unforgettable film.
