| A bright and breezy comedy... Only joking. This is a sombre, harrowing and at times horrific melodrama - ostensibly about 17th century superstition and nastiness, but really about man's infinite capacity for evil and cruelty. It can also, more parochially, be seen as an allegory about the German occupation of Denmark. Though extremely slow, the piece is undeniably powerful and beautifully photographed: one of the cinema's dark masterpieces. Unsurprisingly, audiences have never flocked to see it. |
