Winner of the Golden Lion at the 1955 Venice Film Festival, Ordet is a spare, intense meditation on faith, prayer, doubt and the possibility of a miracle or resurrection.

Synopsis

Morten, a devout Danish farmer, watches his three sons follow wildly different spiritual paths: the youngest, Anders, clings to their father's faith; the eldest, Mikkel, has abandoned belief altogether; and the middle son, Johannes, has slipped into delusion and proclaims himself to be Jesus. When Mikkel's wife Inger endures a dangerous childbirth, the family's beliefs are pushed to their limits.
