Gertrud (1964)

Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer
Country: Denmark 

"One day your visit will be only a memory as all the other memories I cherish."

Every single living thing on earth will born, grow, reproduce (or not) and finally die, and that includes love. I know it fuckin sucks, but whether or not that's a fact we gotta face, and this film is about that. Gertrud is an absolute dejecting work, I felt a dagger in my heart throughtout the whole screening with every single dialogue and scene, and affected me so much in many ways, 'cause Gertrud is a lonely soul who wants to love and being loved in a perfect way, unfortunately that can't happen. 
 
Gertrud's marriage is boring and has techinically ended and fate is cruel with her 'cause Gertrud falls in love with a handsome younger musician who only wants to have an adventure, but not a serious commitment. Dreyer did a magnificent  job, shooting long shots and writing realistic and pesimistic profound dialogues, if you are in the middle of your honeymoon I don't recommend you to see this film, otherwise prepare yourself to face some crude facts about love and life; magnificent movie and one of my all time favorites.
