I saw a Carl Theodor Dreyer movie in grad school and for years, could not remember the title or figure out which movie it was from descriptions. Today, I have my answer: Day of Wrath, from 1943. The movie is set in 17th century Denmark and is about a young woman accused of being a witch. It's beautiful and fascinating, and a restored print will screen at 7 and 9 pm at the Paramount.
