Delayed until her servant’s due was paid in full, her death
was feared lest damnation be her fate.
“Doctor, please, grant me release from
this destiny!” fell on closed ears for his lust was for blood.
Shades, broken from the stranglehold of life, sought her
release,
For only those completely freed
May unencumbered seek the unchaining of another.
A cinematic feast, Dreyer does it again, having the eye and
the power to create genius scenes. The story as a whole might be weak and slow,
but there are individual sights and scenes to keep one enthralled. The biggest
weakness of the film are the long stretches of text... I didn't know I was
going to be reading a book! But there are more than enough visual joys to make
up for it.
