Hopeless romantic Gertrud inhabits a turn-of-the-century milieu of artists and musicians, where she pursues an idealized notion of love that will always elude her. She abandons her distinguished husband and embraces an affair with a young concert pianist, who falls short of her desire for lasting affection. When an old lover returns to her life, fresh disappointments follow, and Gertrud must try to come to terms with reality.

Oh wow, I've loved all the Dreyer I've seen in the past but this was a hard miss for me. I'll be curious to read more about what was going on--some very strange acting, or direction, or both, that led to almost no eye contact between characters and a persistent middle distance gaze that felt very distracting and alienating. I've never seen anything like it.
Great film. I would say that it is more about loneliness, freedom and peace than love. Really enjoyed the ending of the movie
