To celebrate the BFI's release of Carl Dreyer's influental masterpice Ordet (The Word), we are offering you the chance to win some fantastic prizes!
First prize is a pair of tickets to see Ordet and any other screening in the Dreyer season at the BFI Southbank! One runner up will also receive a pair of tickets to see Ordet at the BFI Southbank.
Considered by many to be the greatest of Dreyer's work, this adaptation of Kaj Munk's play has had a tangible influence on filmmaking today.
Old Morten Borgen fears God has abandoned him. Though he adores daughter-in-law Inger, he wishes she could restore her atheist husband Mikkel to the family's traditional beliefs; Anders his youngest wants to marry the daughter of a tailor who preaches a detestably puritanical Christianity; and his middle son Johannes now believes he's Jesus. How could things be worse? Far from the miserabilist litany this brief character summary might suggest, the intimate naturalism of the performances, the exquisite lighting, camera movements, sets and sounds all add to the sense of a super-reality, strangely familiar yet informed by mysterious forces of dark, almost primal emotion. Dreyer’s penultimate film is a heartrending hymn to the power of earthly passion and love.
See Ordet in cinemas nationwide from 9 March. For more information visit: http://www.bfi.org.uk/whatson/node/24731
