Carl Th. Dreyer

Posted by Thorbjorn 1 June 2010

Carl Th. Dreyer (1889-1968) was a Danish director and script writer and is seen as the first grand director of Danish cinema. Jeanne d’Arcs Lidelse og Død, Vredens Dag og Ordet are amongst his most famous movies. Carl Th. Dreyer has now got his own website, an archive with photos and clips from all his movies - well worth a visit.
