| Description | The expressionist horror classic Vampyr might be Carl Theodor Dreyer’s best-known movie today, but in the 1920s he had a huge hit withMaster of the House (aka Du Skal Aere Din Hustru). A comedy of manners between the sexes, about a husband (Johannes Meyer) who overbearing ways with his wife (Astrid Holm) and family suddenly come back to haunt him in a grimly comical manner, this movie was among the most successful Scandinavian films to reach the international marketplace in the silent era. |
