Glad to hear it! It's truly one of the most moving pieces of cinema I've ever seen.

As of right now (November 2023), I think it is streaming on HBO Max or the Criterion Channel. You can also rent it off Amazon or get a physical copy. My Criterion Bluray is gorgeous, with plenty of special features to boot! Not sure what soundtrack you get on streaming.

I remember reading that the tears, the anguish, the exhaustion was in fact real for Maria Falconetti. Dreyer would have her kneel for hours until she was almost broken down. Clearly she looks tortured. Unforgettable.
