Carl Th. Dreyer
Day of Wrath
Filmed during the Nazi occupation of Denmark, Carl Dreyer’s DAY OF WRATH is a harrowing account of individual helplessness in the face of growing social repression and paranoia. Anna, the young second wife of a well respected but much older pastor, falls in love with her stepson when he returns to their small seventeenth-century village. Stepping outside the bounds of the village’s harsh moral code has disastrous results. Exquisitely photographed and passionately acted, DAY OF WRATH remains an intense, unforgettable experience.
Starring Thorkild Roose, Lisbeth Movin, Sigrid Neiiendam
