Michael - By: Markus Gossas, 26 Jun 2008
Very interesting study of a master & his servant/heir. The DVD contains two discs with slightly different transfers & soundtracks (european & american). A commentary track with a Dreyer-scholar which is very informative & worth listening to containing production facts & more about Dreyer as a person - I listened to it right after watching the movie & had to listen through it alll. Luxurious edition, highly recommended!
A sumptuous deep piece of work... - By: , 01 Nov 2004
Dreyer's MICHAEL is quite simply an excellent film that deserves to be appreciated by everyone. This sumptuous dvd set bleeds atmosphere & alllows you to melt into the frames of this long unavailable film. Dreyer's attention to the exquisite sets & lighting is enough to carry the film alone but the liberal character driven story (featuring performances by the director Benjamin Christensen & cinematographer Karl Freund) is far in advance of its time with its deep reflection on sexuality, love & loss. A thoroughly recommended film from an always masterful director's work. The addition of a full length Caspar Tybjerg commentary only elevates this set further to the level of Criterion's discs.
