...battle of a simple country girl against a phalanx of church elders, the debate of passion vs. propriety, the close-ups of so many stern faces and one shining one--all this calls to mind The Passion of Joan of Arc, the 1928 silent masterpiece by another Dane, Carl Dreyer. Von Trier's film isn't in that class, but he gets points for wild ambition. Like Bess, the writer-director has undergone a conversion.

...Forum First Amendment Center at Tennessee's Vanderbilt University and a former newspaper editor, says, "Given the loss of human life and the threat to human life, if the FBI gave [the name] to me, I would have gone with it. But I'd be weeping now." Not so Carl Stern, a former spokesman for the Department of Justice and correspondent for NBC who now teaches journalism at George Washington University.
