Gertrud

Saw Gertrud. It was so understated you could barely hear it at all. A woman looks for love with three different men. One gives lust, one security, one romance. None of them individually satisfy her so in the end she does the only sensible thing and leaves them all. In the movie's world this is ultimate tragedy and her final scene as a school-marm seems to have been set-designed to be as barren and empty as possible. Either the movie's ideas of romance are outdated or I missed the point of it. A very slow movie.
