GESU' RACCONTO DI UN FILM | 1969 | CARL TH. DREYER

Carl Th. Dreyer’s Gesù. Racconto di un film is a remarkable intersection of cinema, religion, and literary narrative, presenting the director’s unfilmed script dedicated to the life of Christ. Written in 1969, it reflects Dreyer’s meticulous artistic vision, blending theological depth with cinematic imagination. The text does not follow traditional Gospel retellings but emphasizes the human dimension of Jesus, highlighting compassion, moral struggle, and the tension between faith and power. Its value lies both in the insight it provides into Dreyer’s unfinished project and in its unique contribution to the dialogue between film studies, spirituality, and narrative art. The work stands as a testament to his enduring quest for purity of form and truth of expression.
