Torben Skjodt Jensen's elegant documentary is a collage of memories and reflectoins on one of cinema's greatest directors. Visually rich and densely layered, Carl Th. Dreyer--My Metier illuminates an artist too little understood and too important to overlook. Through interviews, historical writings, and rare archival footage, a portrait of Dreyer emerges--an austere perfectionist, yes, but also a passionate man possessing a genuine sense of humor. The Criterion Collection is proud to present this in-depth study of Dreyer's life and work for the first time on home video. Director: Torben Skjodt Jensen. Black and White. Country: Denmark. Subtitled.
