The history of Danish country church architecture is told by showing scenes of how the church was used by the congregation, beginning with the celebration of mass in a small and simple wooden church 800 years ago, and ending with the congregation singing in a village church of to-day. The development and the growth of the pattern of church architecture is shown.
Dreyer in this film shows a series of churches from different periods with churchgoers in period clothing. Each period is separated by a shot of a church bell double-exposed on the sky. Although the film has a vibrant and instructive way of communicating the different epochs and styles to students, it does not exhibit the artistic quality that usually distinguishes a Dreyer film, except perhaps in some of the costumes, which were originally made for Day of Wrath.
The board of Dansk Kulturfilm in autumn 1945 decided that their planned church film would exclusively be about village churches. Dreyer would rework the script that was written by editor and folk high-school principal Bernhard Jensen, aided by a committee of experts consisting of architect H. Lønborg-Jensen and Victor Hermansen, curator at the National Museum of Denmark. Dreyer had a first draft ready in mid-March, entitled Kirken er et gammelt Hus ("The Church Is an Old House"), which was distributed to the members of the committee for their comments.
In the last half of July, Dreyer and Victor Hermansen travelled the country to look at suitable churches. They researched the details and at Dreyer’s request a number of technical changes were made to the churches, including the removal of porcelain holders for electrical wiring in Tveje Merløse Church.
On 4 July, Dreyer went in advance to Ringkøbing. Shooting was set to start a few days later with the arrival of the director of photography, Preben Frank, who had fallen off a ladder and broken his leg, Fortunately, he was ready to cautiously start working again within a few days, with his leg in a cast.
Otherwise, the production went without a glitch. Everywhere, Dreyer said, they were well received at the vicarages and they had no problem getting enough extras. On 1 august, they returned to Copenhagen with almost all their footage in the can. They only needed to film the church in Skelby, where the weather had been against them, plus a Swedish wooden church in Hedared. The economy was distressed so soon after the war, especially when it came to foreign currency, but there were no real wooden churches left in Denmark and building an interior set in the studio would be too expensive.
The finished film was shown for the first time on 24 September 1947 to a small, closed circle, which included the Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs. In December 1947, as was Dansk Kulturfilm’s standard practice, the film was presented to the press, politicians and others on a programme with four other short films.
拿着8.5英镑时薪的护工，干着又脏又累的活，传染病知识匮乏，新冠时期还缺少各种防护用品，也是聚焦社会热点了。看这个电影感觉英国完全没有正确抗疫，口罩戴的不对，2米安全距离更是扯淡。
“It's not my department” 每个人都在说这句话。
噩运骤然来袭，在彼时人们的面前，尤其是对前线医护工作人员而言，是一种未知的、庞然的恐惧。更甚者，上层讳莫如深，底层奉为牺牲。阴暗也好，残酷也罢。都是无可奈何的事。文学改编或者影视化呈现，应该更加实事求是。一次群体的疾苦，是已然造成的摧残事件，用人们的创伤去歌功颂德，是对遭殃人群的漠视与冷血。或许是因为本片中运用的长镜头及低鸣压抑的配乐，多次令人联想起《女人的碎片》，同样有一种莫名的怏然之感。沉默、苍白。｜7.0
“It's not my department” 每个人都在说这句话。
绝望的午夜这场戏朱迪·科默演得真好，只是结局的出逃有点突然... 三星半
7.9 关于疫情、关于阿兹海默、关于特殊病患管制的社会暴力、关于卑微的年轻人，第一次警报伴随拉出死者房间昭示浩劫的来临，第二次伴随逃离的车上狂笑象征触犯条例的危机萦绕，第三次则以淋漓直面的质问和切肤的离别之痛加之疗养院的深不见底的不知罪之罪，疯狂地戳痛受众令其清醒，去感受这个社会的病态和粗暴。深焦特写和长镜头运动结合好评
7.9三星半，感觉很复杂，一方面觉得片子说的这事真的很有深度，另一方面又觉得这个故事太简单剧情太空。个人对抗体制完全无解，甚至连呻吟都叫不出来。大英这群体免疫真的是坑死这些弱势群体了，甚至可以怀疑是政府故意的，清理这些所谓低端无价值的人口，哎，苦了这些护工真的关心弱势群体的人了。
中間拯救Kenny一段長鏡頭有張力，電視電影都如此有勁
很多人能看到医护人员的辛勤，很多人歌颂患者团结一致勇斗病魔，但是很少人能够把缺口放小，小到私立医护机构护理员这个微不足道的个体，小到一个中年患上阿兹海默的养老院住客。
最后怎么就把人家拐跑了呢（i get it, but…）
一个小人物陷入泥潭时绝望地挣扎，和在极端境遇下闪烁的人性之光，以及对英国防疫对养老院的不重视的控诉
“前段时间我开始思考我要成为什么样的人了，可是……我有时候连自己在哪里都不知道。”
中間拯救Kenny一段長鏡頭有張力，電視電影都如此有勁
中段那个26分钟的长镜头感染力太强了，精准地呈现了新冠之下小人物的至暗时刻，那种被整个社会背叛的无力与绝望，让人心如刀绞～但第三幕逃离疗养院的情节有些刻意且过火了，为了煽情而煽情，破坏了冷峻克制的旁观视角，也失去了现实感染力～
Sarah和Tony之间的情感建立通顺，两人的结局也蛮牵动人心。Sarah独自在养老院的一晚可以说是全片的高潮，孤立无援的绝望感表现过关。 //有点希望这部电影被更多国人知道。
新冠疫情只是一个外壳，护理人员也仅是发言人的化身。真正表达的勇敢，是对体制的抗议，是掷地有声的呐喊，也是生活其中时的抗衡，是不愿妥协的自救。 * 深夜救助那场戏，屏息凝神的看下来，焦灼与无助产生的崩溃感来得极其真实。当全人类共同经历这种灾难时，源于现实生活的感动也就变得格外真切。
新冠下的护理机构，疫情初期的风口浪尖。为了感情线的发展，结尾稍微有点戏剧化了。
该电影讲述了全球疫情灾难期间英国🇬🇧一家护理院的日常生活情况。
抛开讽刺政府的部分，在疫情背景下讲一个真正关于人的故事依然很难得，别国比咱们拍出了更有人味的抗疫电影
又是一部类似疫情纪录片的电影，又是恍惚着感叹这是两年前的事情，又是无奈的期盼这一时代能快点结束的心情。
