Even those who think that the stage-style lines are contrived can't point to this film. After all, "religion" and lunatics are the gods who can talk about the lines. The camera movement is much more than that of other films of Dreyer. The appearance of the second son must be an imitation of Jesus. Many shapes and pictures have a strong sense of imitating religious paintings. Let’s not talk about the symmetrical composition of the most classic prayer before the resurrection, just cut a few pictures? (In the first picture, the farmer has been showing half of his body in a corner during the dialogue between the two people. If it were not for the window, the picture would be very unbalanced. Yingge’s movements are like a goddess, and are heavily influenced by classical oil paintings):
There are differences and designs between the characters, and there are many conversations between his wife Inge and the farmer. The wife looks at the farmer instead of looking at the farmer, but the farmer keeps looking at other directions.
