Gertrud R2 (Uk Import) - Dreyer, Carl Theodor
Releasedatum: 25 maart 2006
Carl Dreyer's final film, Gertrud is the story of a woman's search for a romantic ideal of total and perfect love. A once famous singer now in her early forties, Gertrud makes the decision to leave her lawyer husband for her lover, a young composer. Discovering the next day that her lover has betrayed her, and is unable to give his total love, Gertrud rejects both husband and lover, choosing a life of solitude and study over the compromise of love that is merely half-measure.
