The history of Danish country church architecture is told by showing scenes of how the church was used by the congregation, beginning with the celebration of mass in a small and simple wooden church 800 years ago, and ending with the congregation singing in a village church of to-day. The development and the growth of the pattern of church architecture is shown.
Dreyer in this film shows a series of churches from different periods with churchgoers in period clothing. Each period is separated by a shot of a church bell double-exposed on the sky. Although the film has a vibrant and instructive way of communicating the different epochs and styles to students, it does not exhibit the artistic quality that usually distinguishes a Dreyer film, except perhaps in some of the costumes, which were originally made for Day of Wrath.
The board of Dansk Kulturfilm in autumn 1945 decided that their planned church film would exclusively be about village churches. Dreyer would rework the script that was written by editor and folk high-school principal Bernhard Jensen, aided by a committee of experts consisting of architect H. Lønborg-Jensen and Victor Hermansen, curator at the National Museum of Denmark. Dreyer had a first draft ready in mid-March, entitled Kirken er et gammelt Hus ("The Church Is an Old House"), which was distributed to the members of the committee for their comments.
In the last half of July, Dreyer and Victor Hermansen travelled the country to look at suitable churches. They researched the details and at Dreyer’s request a number of technical changes were made to the churches, including the removal of porcelain holders for electrical wiring in Tveje Merløse Church.
On 4 July, Dreyer went in advance to Ringkøbing. Shooting was set to start a few days later with the arrival of the director of photography, Preben Frank, who had fallen off a ladder and broken his leg, Fortunately, he was ready to cautiously start working again within a few days, with his leg in a cast.
Otherwise, the production went without a glitch. Everywhere, Dreyer said, they were well received at the vicarages and they had no problem getting enough extras. On 1 august, they returned to Copenhagen with almost all their footage in the can. They only needed to film the church in Skelby, where the weather had been against them, plus a Swedish wooden church in Hedared. The economy was distressed so soon after the war, especially when it came to foreign currency, but there were no real wooden churches left in Denmark and building an interior set in the studio would be too expensive.
The finished film was shown for the first time on 24 September 1947 to a small, closed circle, which included the Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs. In December 1947, as was Dansk Kulturfilm’s standard practice, the film was presented to the press, politicians and others on a programme with four other short films.
哈哈，听说这个片子里有欧阳万成而且有攀岩场景才去看的！剧情虽然不令人惊奇，但还是挺好笑的。看一篇幕后采访里说，在攀岩那场戏里，欧阳万成和妮娜（女主角）在现实中和电影里的特点其实正好是反过来，欧阳万成非常恐高，而妮娜天不怕地不怕……
211114@ pianku die hard是圣诞电影？呵呵
编辑是不是疯了？即使是圣诞电影 也不能这么拍吧？
Shout out to my boy 欧阳万成，虽然只是一个轻松圣诞电影，故事没什么亮点，无非是”真爱至上”的亚裔男主版。。。不过连续一礼拜了都霸占澳洲Netflix榜第一还真是争气
欧阳的演技挺好的，只是女主看起来太不像会喜欢男主的类型，多少有些不真实。
Kudos Jimmy Ouyang for selling the story.
上一次看Nina，还是吸血鬼日记。时代的眼泪🥲
作为圣诞romcom很合格了，有笑点很温馨也有稍微深刻一点的意义。不过最后女主求男主原谅发现自己已经爱上了男主有点过于突然，现实中这样的typical instagram女生是不会爱上有美丽心灵住在爸妈地下室的害羞内敛nerd。Tag好惨，白白被catfish了最后结尾都懒得提这个人。为了提高收视率还提到了好几个于zg有关的reference显得有点刻意，本来以为导演有多讨厌love actually,结尾居然向love actually 致敬。Love actually就是最好的圣诞电影！
欧阳万成就是米国人专门挖掘出来做雅洲男小丑代言人吧
圣诞浪漫喜剧，为了happy ending，结局显得不真实嘎嘎
但是欧阳万成挺可爱的，演得也还可以
欧阳的演技挺好的，只是女主看起来太不像会喜欢男主的类型，多少有些不真实。
太俗套了吧！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！而且nina不要在晒太阳和减肥了😣😣😣
男主还挺有魅力的..但是两个人真的一点磁场没有啊
Jimmy oyang,结尾复刻了《真爱至上》的表白，cool。我爱Jimmy always funny
Jimmy O Yang and Nina Dobrev make this movie so much fun to watch! 我觉得是最近看过最搞笑也很温馨的电影，二人搭档又意想不到的效果，推荐！
damn！我居然在最后模仿Love Actually桥段那里牛内了…… 在这之前我都觉得很一般，也不是很喜欢两位主演（主要是一个太夸张一个太呆板，好吧呆板也算符合这个人物吧）。也不能说喜欢，还是节日氛围和“真爱至上”起了大作用。
最后的吻戏把我恶心到了。这小电影过于politically correct，偏要把stereotypical asian male跟白女配对。现实中，这事不会发生，你心灵再美好，外表不行依旧没人跟你match。
道理我都懂，虽然nina这几年老的有些快，虽然男主人是非常好，但是最后nina亲上去的时候，我真的还是没忍住愤怒，两星不能再多了。
Best Christmas movie is kill bill
