This week, Silent DVD looks at The Parson's Widow, an early movie by cinematic master Carl Theodor Dreyer. Known for his powerful and emotional dramas, this feature is a departure from Dreyer's more well known work; it’s a comedy. A young man can only marry his fiance after he lands a job as a parson. He's happy when he gets a job offer, but only until he learns about the catch: if he wants the job he has to marry the previous parson's widow. This light movie may not sound like a typical Dreyer film, but it has a lot of the techniques and the narrative form that he would more fully explore in his later movies. Read Silent DVD now because 'not all great DVDs are in 5.1'.
