Dreyer’s Filmography Including Scripts (Realized and Unrealized) Appendix 2: Nordisk Offer (Victim/Sacrifice) Films and Scripts Notes Bibliography IndexReviews“Doxtater compellingly argues that Carl Th. Dreyer’s metiér was always art melodrama as a hybrid genre. In her case studies, Dreyer joins the ranks of Sirk, Ray, and Fassbinder as subversive genre filmmakers of melodrama with high-art intentions. Against the grain of the Danish director’s reputation for formalist austerity, the author reveals a surprisingly cagey, dynamic, and erotic storyteller.” - Arne Lunde, author of Nordic Exposures: Scandinavian Identities in Classical Hollywood Cinema “Rooted in painstaking archival research that unpacks Carl Th. Dreyer’s praxis as screenwriter, archivist, and historian, Visions and Victims is a thought-provoking rumination on the temporalities, performativities, and affordances of the archive. Lucidly and elegantly written, the book resituates Dreyer’s oeuvre in the ambivalent space between art cinema and melodrama.” - C. Claire Thomson, author of Short Films from a Small Nation: Danish Informational Cinema 1935–1965. """Doxtater compellingly argues that Carl Th.
