Gertrud centres on a woman loved by four different men, who rejects the compromise of her marriage, suffers disappointment in her younger lover and retreats into serene isolation. (British Film Institute (BFI))
Reviews (1)
This is not a film for me. The long shots are so static that the performances can't really save it. Plot-wise, the film isn't entirely zero, but it's not very far from such a result. A theatrical film with minimal sets, attempting to show that the director's intention will turn it into real art.
