wrath

Day of Wrath (Vredens dag), 1943. Carl Theodor Dreyer.

Note that during the kiss there is an edit and the characters completely reverse screen position. While this is a European film (directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer, in Denmark, in 1943) it serves as a good example of the contingent and ideological nature of cinematic grammar.
