Master of the House

1925, 1h 47min -

Before he turned to the story of Joan of Arc, the Danish cinema genius Carl Theodor Dreyer fashioned this ahead-of-its-time examination of domestic life.

In it, Dreyer combines lightness and humor with his customary meticulous craft and sense of integrity. Show more
