With his masterful Ordet (aka The Word, [1955]), legendary Danish
filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer examines the conflict between internalized
personal faith and organized religion. Dreyer sets the drama in a
conservative, super-pious Danish town, where widower Morten Borgen
(Henrik Malberg) -- the father of three boys -- cuts against the grain
of the community with his constant heretical doubt. One of his sons,
Mikkel Borgen (Emil Hass Christensen), is entangled in an interfaith
romance with a fundamentalist's daughter, while the second, Anders
Borgen (Cay Kristiansen), is an agnostic, and the third, Johannes Borgen
(Preben Leerdorff-Rye) -- a devotee of Søren Kirkegaard -- believes
that he actually is Jesus Christ -- a conviction ridiculed by
almost everyone as pure insanity. Also known as The Word, Ordet was the
only film that Dreyer made in the 1950s. The author of the play on which
the film was based (and which was previously filmed in 1943) was Kaj
Munk, a Danish pastor murdered by the Nazis for daring to announce his
fidelity to Christ over Hitleer. Hal Erickson
