Film Synopsis

Torben Skjodt Jensen's elegant documentary is a collage of memories and reflections on one of cinema's greatest directors. Visually rich and densely layered, Carl Th. Dreyer - My Metier illuminates an artist too little understood and too important to overlook. Through interviews, historical writings, and rare archival footage, a portrait of Dreyer emerges - an austere perfectionist, yes, but also a passionate man possessing a genuine sense of humor.

Available only as part of the Dreyer Box Set
