VAMPYR
"The Strange Adventure of Allan Gray"
A FILM BY CARL TH. DREYER
The first sound-film by one of the greatest of all filmmakers, Vampyr offers a sensual immediacy that few, if any, works of cinema can claim to match. Legendary director Carl Theodor Dreyer (La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc, Ordet) leads the viewer, as though guided in a trance, through a realm akin to a waking-dream, a zone positioned somewhere between reality and the supernatural.
Deemed by Alfred Hitchcock "the only film worth watching... twice," Vampyr's influence has become, by now, incalculable. Long out of circulation in an acceptable transfer, The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Dreyer's truly terrifying film for the first time in its film-restored form, officially licensed from the Danish Film Institute.
