The House Next Door

By Kevin B. Lee

Film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum compares his favorite John Ford movie, The Sun Shines Bright, with his favorite Carl Dreyer movie, Gertrud, on a video essay produced by House contributor Kevin B. Lee, as part of Shooting Down Pictures, a record of his ongoing quest to see every title on the list of the 1000 Greatest Films compiled by They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?.

For much more detailed discussions about these films separately, see Jonathan's article on The Sun Shines Bright in Rouge and his essay on Gertrud in his collection Placing Movies: The Practice of Film Criticism.
