One day, it seems so far away, watching TV, and I was so impressed by a film. Hypnotized. The image that ran in black and white, the sequence of those big eyes, so expressive. Discover the cinema that evening to find out that there was painted on the reel sequence, images that leave you breathless: Discover the art cinema, Theodor Dreyer, expressionist cinema, a cinema that was lost in the mists of time, marked from his notes. His images were so impressed me, incredible. His directorial debut was a qualified success. The fame came thanks to the film, the angel of the hearth, in 1925, but the film that made him more popular (what I was telling you) is The Passion of Joan of Arc, released in 1928. It was his first great classic. Dreyer created in this way, a masterpiece of emotion that is divided equally between realism and expressionism. The next film was
Vampyr - The Vampire (1932), a surreal meditation on fear. The logic gives way to emotion and atmosphere in this story where a man protects two sisters from a vampire. The film contains many indelible images as the hero who dreams of his own burial trimmed and the animal's blood on the face of one of his sisters while he is kidnapped by the spell of the vampire. Both films were not successful at the box office and Dreyer's other films did not turn until 1943. On this date there is Dies Irae, a film about the hypocrisy of those who condemned the witches. With this film Dreyer would have established the style that marked his sound films: accurate composites, raw black and white photography and film is very long. In 1955 he turned
Ordet. Against the background of a society that has a controversial relationship with religion, Dreyer wanted to enhance the faith of the simple. Dreyer's last film was Gertrud (1964). Although it was less than the previous ones, it sounds like an artistic testament of the author as he tells of a woman who, through the highs and lows of his life, never blame their choices.
also tells the life of a man who chose to make a different movie, maybe a movie theater for many to digest, but a film that left us a huge bag, a model. Was it another time, perhaps unique.
