Storyline

Hopeless romantic Gertrud inhabits a turn-of-the-century milieu of artists and musicians, where she pursues an idealized notion of love that will always elude her. She abandons her distinguished husband and embraces an affair with a young concert pianist, who falls short of her desire for lasting affection. When an old lover returns to her life, fresh disappointments follow, and Gertrud must try to come to terms with reality.

A work of classic austerity as befits the maker of The Passion of Joan of Arc.

RTChicago ReaderMay 22, 2014

It's exquisite, unbearable, and unforgettable.

RTThe New YorkerMay 22, 2014

Dreyer's film depicts repressed carnal desires that merge with Gertrud's inevitably frustrated spiritual one: the longing for a love so total and consuming that it contains the seeds of its own destruction.

Gertrud, Dreyer's last picture, seemed to me a ponderous and theatrical bore, as suffocating and prim as the drawing-rooms in which it takes place.
