Plot
A woman leaves her marriage in search of an absolute love.
Sinekatalog’s take
Carl Theodor Dreyer's final film follows a woman leaving her marriage in search of absolute love. Austere, slow and hypnotic, with long takes and stylised speech, it is a spare, demanding and beautiful farewell.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
