“Nothing in the world can be compared to the human face. It is a land one can never tire of exploring. There is no greater experience in a studio than to witness the expression of a sensitive face under the mysterious power of inspiration. To see it animated from inside, and turning into poetry.” 

(Carl Theodor Dreyer, regista e sceneggiatore; Copenaghen, 3 febbraio 1889 – Copenaghen, 20 marzo 1968)
