5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest films ever made., 26 Mar 2007
By Phoust (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Ordet (The Word) is a Danish film directed in 1955 by Carl Theodore Dreyer. It was adapted from the 1925 play by Danish playwright and Lutheran pastor Kaj Munk. Ordet is set in a spiritually divided community and deals with faith and the belief in miracles. Dreyer is regarded as one the truly great directors of all time, with a conviction to his art, matched by very few other directors. `Ordet' was the only film he made in the 1950s, twelve years after `Day Of Wrath' (1943) in ten years before his final film `Gertrude' (1965). The lighting in Ordet is simply exquisite and the cinematography by Henning Bendtsen is remarkable. Henning would go on to shoot `Gertrude' also and later `Europa' (1991) for Lars Von Trier. Lars Von Trier is a huge fan of Dreyer, evidence of which can be seen in `Breaking The Waves' (1996) that featured similar themes. If you're serious about cinema then this is a film that needs to be seen. I can't recommend this more highly than to say that this is in my top 10 favourite films ever made up there with the work of Bergman, Antonioni, Ozu, Fellini, Bresson and Cocteau.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good film but..., 28 Sep 2008
...the synopsis on the back of the dvd reveals the ending! Basically, this is a two hour film that climaxes in a dramatic final scene. Problem is, the dvd back cover pretty much reveals everything about the plot. I am a fan of Dreyer's work and this is an excellent dvd in many other ways but I felt disappointed watching it as I knew exactly what was coming, so the film lost a lot of it's power. If you buy this dvd, I'd suggest not reading the notes until after viewing. Hope this helps your enjoyment of the film!

4.0 out of 5 stars Austere but Magnificent, 6 Aug 2008
By Mark Pearce "''Chinatown''" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Stark,deliberately paced religious tale from the prolific Dreyer(five films in fourty years)centres on the Borgen family who have largely been ostracised by the rest of the community mainly in part to a religious conversion spearheaded by Peter,the village tailor.Things come to a head when Anders Borgen wishes to marry Anna, the tailor's daughter.
Family patriarch Morten(henrik Malberg)tries to reach a compromise with Peter while simultaneously having his faith severely tested by a son Johannes gone mad and another Mikkel whose wife Inger is trying to give birth.
Ordet adapted from the play by Munk explores the differences between orthodox religion and personal faith with great skill and the cast are uniformly excellent especially Emil Hass Christensen as the loving Mikkel and Brigette Federspiel as his adored wife Inger.
Slow at times with the character of Johannes becoming more irritating than necessary but wait for the ending - one of the most beautiful and spine tingling in the history of cinema.
Ordet together with the superb Day of Wrath,Vampyr,Master Of The House,Passion of Joan Of Arc and Gertrud constitute a body of work that places Dreyer up there as one of cinema's greatest filmmakers.
