The history of Danish country church architecture is told by showing scenes of how the church was used by the congregation, beginning with the celebration of mass in a small and simple wooden church 800 years ago, and ending with the congregation singing in a village church of to-day. The development and the growth of the pattern of church architecture is shown.
Dreyer in this film shows a series of churches from different periods with churchgoers in period clothing. Each period is separated by a shot of a church bell double-exposed on the sky. Although the film has a vibrant and instructive way of communicating the different epochs and styles to students, it does not exhibit the artistic quality that usually distinguishes a Dreyer film, except perhaps in some of the costumes, which were originally made for Day of Wrath.
The board of Dansk Kulturfilm in autumn 1945 decided that their planned church film would exclusively be about village churches. Dreyer would rework the script that was written by editor and folk high-school principal Bernhard Jensen, aided by a committee of experts consisting of architect H. Lønborg-Jensen and Victor Hermansen, curator at the National Museum of Denmark. Dreyer had a first draft ready in mid-March, entitled Kirken er et gammelt Hus ("The Church Is an Old House"), which was distributed to the members of the committee for their comments.
In the last half of July, Dreyer and Victor Hermansen travelled the country to look at suitable churches. They researched the details and at Dreyer’s request a number of technical changes were made to the churches, including the removal of porcelain holders for electrical wiring in Tveje Merløse Church.
On 4 July, Dreyer went in advance to Ringkøbing. Shooting was set to start a few days later with the arrival of the director of photography, Preben Frank, who had fallen off a ladder and broken his leg, Fortunately, he was ready to cautiously start working again within a few days, with his leg in a cast.
Otherwise, the production went without a glitch. Everywhere, Dreyer said, they were well received at the vicarages and they had no problem getting enough extras. On 1 august, they returned to Copenhagen with almost all their footage in the can. They only needed to film the church in Skelby, where the weather had been against them, plus a Swedish wooden church in Hedared. The economy was distressed so soon after the war, especially when it came to foreign currency, but there were no real wooden churches left in Denmark and building an interior set in the studio would be too expensive.
The finished film was shown for the first time on 24 September 1947 to a small, closed circle, which included the Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs. In December 1947, as was Dansk Kulturfilm’s standard practice, the film was presented to the press, politicians and others on a programme with four other short films.
除了男主长得很像卡纳瓦罗，一无是处。节奏缓慢，女配垃圾。音乐还行。
一位孤寂神秘的男人，一个始终不能遗忘的过去阴影，一种自我毁灭的倾向，连同一个作为背景的有争议的社会议题……它可以是《夜行者》、《你从未在此》、或者导演自己的《出租车司机》，抑或本片。感觉这类电影的成败主要在于一位迷人的主演，在这一点上，本片的主演不负所望。一个天赋异禀的男人之所以能做到抗拒人性不成为一个赌徒，乃是因为他心中有着更大的愤怒和空洞。
新黑色电影与赌片杂糅，鱼眼广角下的战争创伤与幽闭恐惧直直展现在眼前。
肉身肌肤上的疮口或许可以随年日慢慢被治愈，但内心里的惊惧忧虑却会一再撕裂，久久不得安心。在睡梦中、在神游中、在散漫的日常生活所有的琐碎当中，一而再再而三地想起从前身困囹圄，心困炼狱的往事。用鱼眼镜头展示出残酷的狱中记忆，如梦似幻，昏昏沉沉，惶惑、迷乱而惊悸。每逢赌场，必有叫喊令人两耳鸣叫的“USA”，暗自嘲讽。这是本片仅有的，乏善可陈的亮点之一二。其余部分实在是索然无味。不知是模仿了谁，是索菲亚·科波拉还是王家卫，风格不成风格，故事不成故事。涉及牌的玩法，想必对于早看过香港电影的人而言，未免显得太过于小儿科了。
披着赌片皮的复仇片，老马丁几十年后又拍了部军工复合体如何吃人的片子。
还有这种类型的电影
以反类型之眼观物，“异常”严肃认真的语气驱动影像的inner groove形成某种特殊的张驰之力。好几个摇臂推进的俯视镜头经常给人一种恍惚和间离感，人物仿佛不属于此刻，而是永远流寓在生活的螺旋中。
4.0，某种能控制精神的调度。主观的、暧昧的表达，在前四分之三处堆积出了情绪的迷幻，欲罢不能。可惜最后又莫名开始写实？观感被迫抽离出来（和第一归正会相同的失败点）
监狱里用鱼眼表现是真压抑
要么老老实实拍玩牌，要么老老实实拍复仇，这又是复仇又是玩牌。。。
故事的抽离加分，但总体感觉上有点儿明显的刻意。赌场上的USA必胜叫人忍俊不住
三星半，Oscar Issac这张冷峻的脸就是全片节奏和风格的写照。算牌只是虚晃一枪，重心是PTSD主题和相辅相成的鱼眼镜头。BRMC的音乐还是很有辨识度的。
本来以为是一部赌片，结果又是一部战后ptsd的片子。两种情节穿插在一起，整个片子的节奏都很慢，只是力度完全不一样，在打牌的时候很稳很平和，离开牌桌后，男主的动作和习惯以及和cirk的对话，却充满了力度。还不错
3.5, 除了节奏慢点还行，有点马丁风格的醉乡民谣，poker场面没看够
“算牌人”的身份似乎并不重要，只是用来认识女主和快速筹钱的背景板。但这恰是全片最迷人的地方之一，我们等待男主一掷千金一夜暴富一雪前耻，我们等待牌局作为翻盘的机会，甚至我们就是在等待输或赢的结果。最后，轻飘飘的，他走了。
“He can recognize the Transcendent,he can study those methods which brought him to that realization,but that actual ‘why’of that realization is a mystery.”
奥斯卡太辣太帅了，剧情比较平淡，但是结局还不错
又是一部故作玄虚的电影，没有什么精彩刺激的“算牌”对决，各种政治化的比喻让人无聊
男主演技相当不错，几乎一个人完成了一部电影，还能不分神的看完。只是以我的肤浅认识还是以失败而告终，不免充满遗憾。
这苦闷下要迸发出来的能量 镜头声音节奏都喜欢。我有点儿觉得i feel you 这想法又莫名可笑。
