Wow. I’m Breathless. “Gertrud” is an absolute celebration of the human life. A woman searches to be loved more than anything else. The long beautiful takes and exquisite lighting make “Gertrud” a true gem of it’s time.
This is the last film Carl Dreyer made before he died, and it sure is a masterpiece.
It’s one of those beautiful films that lingers in your mind for a long time after you watch it. It makes me want to seek love out myself. Love really is all in this world.
Just look at me, Am I beautiful? No, but I have loved!
Just look at me, Am I young? No, but I have loved!
Just look at me, Do I live? No, but I have loved!
