The film itself is a wonderful tale of a husband who learns what it means to love his wife and put her above himself. It's also a fascinating look at the way domestic life has changed...and stayed the same. People still take each other for granted, even if both work outside the home. The details might be different now, but the ideas are the same...and that's exactly why Dreyer's film still speaks to us today.The transfer and restoration efforts are wonderful. Featuring a piano performance of the original musical score, the images are pleasing, even when they're a bit on the soft side. I have a feeling that the different reels of the film were preserved in varying conditions, but that the material which is best has been selected and carefully restored.If you're a collector of silent film or enjoy domestic dramas, this is a wonderful addition to your collection.
