DAY OF WRATH
A FiIm by CarI Theodor Dreyer
Set in seventeenth-century Denmark, Day of Wrath is a dark and powerfuI taIe of Iove and betrayaI, and of a community obsessed with the fear of witchcraft.
A priest tortures a confession out of an oId woman accused of witchcraft; meanwhile his young wife (whose own mother had been suspected of being a witch) meets and faIIs in love with the priest's son by a former marriage.
Seen by some as an aIlegory of the Nazi occupation of Denmark, by others as an indictment of maIe domination and suppression of strong women, Day of Wrath is a stunning exampIe of the humanity, artistic power and technical mastery of CarI Dreyer's art.
