At the world premiere of "Gertrud" in Paris, December 1964, Dreyer is greeted by many celebrities of the French cinema: Clouzot, Langlois, Truffaut, Godard, Anna Karina. Afterwards Dreyer delivers short comments on the style of each of his films.
What can I say? This is pretty straightforward -- Dreyer speaking for about twenty minutes on his work, with a few notable guests who have shown up to support him. While this hardly captures his whole career -- a full documentary of multiple hours would be needed to really examine him in any detail -- it gives glimpse inside the man's mind.
I certainly recommend this, as I think Dreyer is often forgotten and ignored by modern film scholars. He should be celebrated.
