Notes
  • "A McLellan book."
  • Includes bibliographical references (p. [105]-109) and index.
  • Why a book about Gertrud? -- If Gertrud is such a great failure, how is it so great? -- What does the "real" have to do with Gertrud's "talkiness"? -- Why was Dreyer so fascinated with the "real" Gertrud? -- Why can't images and words (and men and women) stay married in Gertrud? -- Why are Dreyer's images, when they "quote," so obscene? -- So what, after all, is the tapestry quoting? -- Is Gertrud an ekphrastic film? -- At last, here's Dreyer's probable source-but does it matter that we found it? -- Is Dreyer quoting Botticelli? -- What is Dreyer teaching us about the history of perspective, and how is Gertrud so interesting a contributor to this topic? -- What does perspective have to do with free will? -- How is Gertrud a kind of remake of The Passion of Joan of Arc? -- How did the Virgin Mary really get pregnant (and is that why Gertrud is childless)? -- Why are Joan and Gertrud so "hysterical"? -- How does the struggle between Dreyer's words and images open us up to the real?.
