A chamber drama of a couple in an apartment.
Sinekatalog’s take
Carl Theodor Dreyer's chamber drama, set in a single apartment, follows a couple facing a past secret. Spare, intense and theatrical, Dreyer disowned the film, which remains a curiosity within his body of work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
