Ordet

Quote of the night -- particularly for students...

Mikkel explaining his brother Johannes', insanity:

"Something happened."

"Was it love?"

"No -- Kierkegaard."

In the film Johannes went away to study theology, hit a crisis of faith and came home believing he is Jesus.

Just watched "Ordet" (Danish for "the Word", pronounced with silent 'd') by Dreyer (Passion of Joan of Arc) -- it's brilliant -- if you have the chance, rent it -- unfolds slowly, but give it time with an open heart.

P.S. DON'T READ UP ON IT VIA THE INTERNET -- every synopsis I've seen online tells you too much!

What does one do if there he has Internet access but no television? Spent a couple of hours in Heathrow today. Thought of you.
Cheers,
