(06/01/2006, p.87, Geoffrey Macnab): "What Dreyer does demonstrate horribly clearly is how quickly a close knit community can be riven with bigotry." |
| More Information |
| Details: |
Dreyer's horrifying masterpiece based on Hans Wiers Jenssen's play which, in turn, was based on actual records of witch trials during the 1600s. An old woman curses the local clergyman and his family as she is burned at the stake in this sobering and ghastly study of religious fanaticism. |
