Henning Bendtsen

Documentary about the making of Ordet, from the perspective of cinematographer Henning Bendtsen.

Torben Skjødt Jensen’s elegant documentary is a collage of memories and reflections 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.

Acclaimed cinematographer Henning Bendtsen reflects on working with directors Carl Theodor Dreyer and Lars von Trier.
