This edition of the school of Dreyer is less focused/structured in comparison to part one but I think you'll find a few valid examples of his (possible) influence nonetheless.
Enjoy...

Though this is very much a PTA original in the way it playfully fudges the line between fastidiousness and spontaneity, the film it recalls the most is 1964’s Gertrud, the dour final work by the Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer. Both films are concerned with the mysteries of love, but employing a unique (and uniquely austere) dramatic approach, they manage to drill right down to love’s masochistic core - Davey Jenkins, Little White Lies

MUBI: Camille Claudel 1915 was inspired by the artist’s medical records and correspondence with friends and family. Was Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc a big influence on your own approach?
Bruno Dumont: Yes. There were transcripts of Joan of Arc’s trial [that Dreyer used] and also both women were prisoners. So they are in the same state and both are tragic.
