Ordet (1955) starring Henrik Malberg, Emil Hass Christensen, Cay Kristiansen, Preben Lerdorff Rye. Danish film set in 1925 about two families with differing religious beliefs, who must deal with the love between two of their children. Even though both families are Christian, they believe in different flavors of Christianity. When one father turns down an offer of marriage for his daughter, the other father comes to his house to argue with him about theology. Every crisis is discussed in terms of faith. The ending is quite a surprise. This film won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film in 1956. The subtitles are ... necessary. Grade: B
