1. Compared with [The Passion of Joan of Arc] and [Words], this film is more ambiguous and ambiguous. Everyone is struggling and tossing in lust and possessiveness. Everyone is guilty, but everyone can be understand or understand. Good and evil, holiness and filth are often intertwined and intertwined with each other. Unfortunately, most people only hold a simple, either-or dualistic thinking - both the attacking and eradicating heresy and the witch-hunting movement follow this crude logic. 2. Dreyer's use of light and shadow is so subtle that there are soft soft light and high-contrast hard light. The faces of the characters in indoor dramas are often semi-dark or illuminated with Rembrandt light, and the characters' moods fluctuate and light and shadow change. Complement each other, too feeling. 3. Many slow-moving panning mirrors, gloomy and sympathetic, open Mizoguchi, Bertolucci and Anzhe. 4. The cross-cut of love and death: the old pastor accompanies the dying peers & faces the wind and returns home with difficulty vs. two people who meet at the riverside, grass and home. 5. The [Day of Wrath] Gregorian chant of the first and last children's chorus, repeated scores and handwritten letterheads, is so sad and cold, like the end of the world. 6. Killing with words is just the opposite of [words] resurrecting with words. (9.0/10)

Human nature is blind to selfish desires, and religious judgment fits with it. The free mix of large depth of field and telephoto, the wanton alternation of long shots and montages, the drama of light, the epic of shadow.
