“On a lonely, pine-clad hill overlooking the Hudson, stood the grotesque mansion of an
eccentric millionaire…”
And so the scene is set for a hugely entertaining haunted-house mystery in which
the relatives of a deceased recluse gather for the reading of his will. Which of
the assembled is as they first appear? Who is innocent and who should not be
trusted? Which one of them will fall victim to the murderous ‘lunatic’ roaming the
grounds and who will be prey to the grotesque monsters lurking in the mansion’s
shadows. Think Agatha Christie meets Scooby Doo with a generous dash of German
Expressionism and you get the idea of the flavour of this riotous and influential
horror classic.

A small but perfectly formed masterpiece that confounds all expectations: a
comedy from the famously dour director Dreyer (Passion of Joan of Arc). And
yet this ostensibly light-hearted romantic story about young love will take you by
surprise, stealing up on you and breaking your heart. In 17th century Norway a
young theology student determines to secure the position of minister so that he can
have the means to marry his sweetheart. But his jubilation at triumphing over his
rivals for the role is short-lived when he learns that the position is conditional upon
marrying his predecessor’s widow. An affecting and beautiful drama from one of the
acknowledged great artists of cinema.
