Not much evidence of Dreyer's famous white, in moody tale of 'witchcraft' in 1629, still powerful and upsetting. Intense performances from Lisbeth Movin, Sigrid Neiiendam (the horrible mother-in-law), Thorkild Roose (the husband); and Preben Lerdorff Rye (the son).
Very simply told tale takes place mainly in a single house interior.
The way the cross morphs into another symbol right at the end is mysterious. One reviewer claimed it was a symbol of witchcraft, but I found no evidence of that.
