4/10
13 minutes of Danish church history and architecture

As you already see from the title of my review, this is as specific as it gets for a movie, or even a documentary. Dreyer's easily most known work is still his take on Jeanne d'Arc, which contains what is seen by many as one of the finest female performance in movie history, but Dreyer actually made many documentaries too. And also not only one documentary on Danish churches. There is more out there. However, I think you really have to be very religious or very interested in architecture to enjoy this black-and-white film. Being Danish will help too, otherwise you need subtitles to watch it. I myself did not find it too engaging at all. A pretty boring watch and I would not recommend it to anybody who does not fit the previously mentioned requirements.
