Show Notes

Jackie and Greg return to the great Carl Theodor Dreyer for one of his signature films, the late-career masterpiece ORDET from 1955. Topics of discussion include its origins as a stage play, the long takes, the constantly howling wind, what Dreyer's saying about organized religion, and the powerful spirituality of the film.
