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 once again not a movie for me. The long shots are so static that the acting performances cannot save them. In terms of plot, the film is not completely zero, but it is not very far from achieving such a result. A theatrical film with minimal sets that tries to show that the director's intent will make it real art. ()
