Ordet [2K Remastered Edition]

[Machine Translation] Jean-Luc Godard, Manoel de OLIVEIRA, Ingmar Bergman, and others, the Scandinavian Danish master Carl Th Dryer is admired by filmmakers around the world. The perfect composition of the screen and the astonishing beauty of monochrome create a true miracle of cinema in this masterpiece! --The setting is a village on the Jutland peninsula of Denmark in the first half of the 20th century. Family life is depicted in a tranquil atmosphere, centering on a family on the Bohon farm. The eldest son is serious but has little faith. The second son, who, as a result of his pursuit of theology, loses his mind and behaves like Jesus Christ himself. The third son is in love with the daughter of a sectarian family and refuses to marry her. The wife of the first son is about to give birth, but her condition suddenly changes and she herself dies in childbirth. The second son disappears, but regains his sanity at the funeral and returns. And then... The simple daily life of people in the Danish countryside passes by, and soon there is a drama of birth and death, and a miracle appears in front of people. Based on the stage play "The Word" written by pastor Kai Munch in 1925. The play depicts family conflict and great love in a solemn indoor space and an overwhelming outdoor scene of windswept fields in a highly sophisticated production. Commentary leaflet and postcards are included. Sound: Danish / Mono
