Reminiscent of Ingmar Bergman's spare style when exploring similar themes (eg The Seventh Seal), Dryer's work is disciplined and focused, rather like a Jesuit, really.

This is an overwhelming emotional and intellectual experience, thanks both to its subject matter and its austere yet potent presentation.

Both emotionally and intellectually the picture is hypnotic, and some portions will nail the spectator to his seat.

Dreyer is digging deeper than these slogans ["institutional religion" versus "personalized faith"], to the regions of mystery where Johannes's mind was lost.

Not Coming to a Theater Near You

A rare work about spiritual life and the conflicts of earthly bodies and heavenly desires that doesn't denigrate or simplify religion despite the flawed nature of the characters and of the institution of religion itself.
