The great Danish filmmaker, Carl Theodor Dreyer, spent the last twenty years of this life planning a film on the life of Jesus for which he was unable to gather funding. What remains is his brilliant script—a luminous work that pay’s tribute to the man’s spiritual triumphs, and in which Dreyer meant to counter anti-semitic interpretations of the New Testament. This book contains the entirety of Dreyer’s English language script along with three essays from Dreyer on why he wanted to make the film, and on its historical research and bias. Also included are appreciations of Dreyer by Jean Renoir, Frederico Fellini, François Truffaut, a review of Dreyer’s career and an article on his working methods.
