Scandinavian genius, though far less prolific.
Ordet, The Passion of Joan of Arc, Vamypr (a brilliant "horror" film and one demonstrating the incredible range of Dreyer), Gertrud... these are his films I've seen and each is a classic.
If you're of a mind, start with the stark brilliance of "Ordet."
He's every bit the master Bergman is.

Why he's relatively unknown beats the hell out of me... (Open in New Window)
