Day of Wrath
Carl Dreyer, 1943
B&W, certificate PG, 95 mins
Saturday 14 July, 2.30pm
Sainsbury Wing Theatre
Dreyer's powerful tale of love and betrayal is set in a Danish village in the early 17th century, a time when the community still feared witches.
Anne (Lisbeth Movin) is the beautiful, young second wife of elderly pastor Absalon (Thorkild Roose) who falls passionately in love with Absalon's grown-up son Martin (Preben Lerdorff Rye).
She soon discovers the disastrous consequences of stepping outside the village's harsh moral codes, and Absalon must search his heart for the virtuous response.
Dreyer's pared-down visual style and stark lighting enhance the film's emotional intensity.
