“Master of the House. I'm obsessed with Dreyer, obsessed with him. You know, some you have your favorite directors when you're 20, some you have your favorite directors when you're 30, and now I'm older than that, but I'm rewatching.”

Gaspar Noe

Bi Gan director

“[Translated] Then I saw a Dreyer film. I've really liked this director lately. I've been rewatching his film Day of Wrath. Although the background is about a history of witch hunts, it touches on very deep, evil, and inexplicable things in humanity that can only be expressed through film. Day of Wrath gave me a lot of shock. It comes from something deeper, conveyed through his cinematic language. I remember a scene with embroidery; when things change, the pattern changes too.”
