Carl Theodor Dreyer (Danish:[ˈkʰɑˀlˈtsʰe̝ːotɒˈtʁɑjˀɐ]; 3 February 1889 – 20 March 1968), commonly known as Carl Th.

Dreyer,[1] was a Danish film director and screenwriter. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers in history, his movies are noted for emotional austerity and slow, stately pacing, frequent themes of social intolerance, the inseparability of fate and death, and the power of evil in earthly life.[2][3][4][5]
