The history of Danish country church architecture is told by showing scenes of how the church was used by the congregation, beginning with the celebration of mass in a small and simple wooden church 800 years ago, and ending with the congregation singing in a village church of to-day. The development and the growth of the pattern of church architecture is shown.
Dreyer in this film shows a series of churches from different periods with churchgoers in period clothing. Each period is separated by a shot of a church bell double-exposed on the sky. Although the film has a vibrant and instructive way of communicating the different epochs and styles to students, it does not exhibit the artistic quality that usually distinguishes a Dreyer film, except perhaps in some of the costumes, which were originally made for Day of Wrath.
The board of Dansk Kulturfilm in autumn 1945 decided that their planned church film would exclusively be about village churches. Dreyer would rework the script that was written by editor and folk high-school principal Bernhard Jensen, aided by a committee of experts consisting of architect H. Lønborg-Jensen and Victor Hermansen, curator at the National Museum of Denmark. Dreyer had a first draft ready in mid-March, entitled Kirken er et gammelt Hus ("The Church Is an Old House"), which was distributed to the members of the committee for their comments.
In the last half of July, Dreyer and Victor Hermansen travelled the country to look at suitable churches. They researched the details and at Dreyer’s request a number of technical changes were made to the churches, including the removal of porcelain holders for electrical wiring in Tveje Merløse Church.
On 4 July, Dreyer went in advance to Ringkøbing. Shooting was set to start a few days later with the arrival of the director of photography, Preben Frank, who had fallen off a ladder and broken his leg, Fortunately, he was ready to cautiously start working again within a few days, with his leg in a cast.
Otherwise, the production went without a glitch. Everywhere, Dreyer said, they were well received at the vicarages and they had no problem getting enough extras. On 1 august, they returned to Copenhagen with almost all their footage in the can. They only needed to film the church in Skelby, where the weather had been against them, plus a Swedish wooden church in Hedared. The economy was distressed so soon after the war, especially when it came to foreign currency, but there were no real wooden churches left in Denmark and building an interior set in the studio would be too expensive.
The finished film was shown for the first time on 24 September 1947 to a small, closed circle, which included the Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs. In December 1947, as was Dansk Kulturfilm’s standard practice, the film was presented to the press, politicians and others on a programme with four other short films.

不太明白做成黑白的意义，或许就只是为了碰瓷《罗马》而已；人物矛盾和动机有些莫名其妙，冲突与转折到来时那种力量每次都不是很足，太缺少说服力。
感觉得出来是导演珍藏的回忆，尽管是个动荡不安的年代，但是有着家人的爱和守护、祖父母的诙谐幽默、对同班女生纯真无邪的情愫，童年还是美好和温馨的。
完美的亲子电影，剧情连贯，角色生动，音乐也很棒。
没有童年就不要硬凹。你说这片子是对当初丢在战火中的邻居们的道歉信，我还相信一些。
“走吧，再也别回来。”
不如期待的好，也不像风评的那么差。大时代的背景和小家庭的故事都有了，三代人的态度都在了：孩子有哭闹和纯情，大人有理想和歌舞，老人有无奈和眷恋——最后差了一点张力把这些都捏合起来。类似题材的《罗马》实在高出太多啦。
流水账到不明所以，再多放几首流行歌配乐就要成功把我逼疯了。
candy妹妹人生第一次进电影院，我自己全篇陪着，看不太懂动画片，但里面有句台词，大意是：英雄也会害怕，但是英雄还是会勇往直前。这大抵就是生活吧。
虽说很低幼，但画面、娱乐性观感比剧版好太多...最后是要开启狗狗宇宙？(爱猫人士震怒

又是一部颁奖季热门，但是还是觉得没有达到预期，故事不是很生动，角色也没有什么刻画。
人一生总归要搬一次家，哪怕是从村头到村尾，一些熟悉的东西，是内心最挣扎的地方。离开的叫弃舍离，留下的是那乡愁。电影结局，主人公一家人远去的身影，留下奶奶孤独的告别，那一阵鼻酸，令多少人红了双眼。
1、看来看去觉得相比于其他影片，这部影片评分还可以，于是匆匆买了票，到了电影院发现，除了我们全是带娃的来看的，娃还不超过五六岁。2、电影院座椅特别舒服，把自己想象成幼儿园小孩子，还是可以看完的，也没有特别无聊。3、也算是次神奇的观影体验了。
看小盆友的反应，应该是很满意…完整的一次看完，没有被吓着要走
“好”与“不好”可能在此处不是一个评价自传体乡愁电影的标准，导演能自我感动和自我沉醉就很好。打四星因为我对那地方有滤镜，就这样。
我们每每看欧美电影讲他们的“苦日子”时都会心想，就这？你们也好意思叫苦日子？
不用去和罗马比，每个人的私人故事都是不一样的。相比之下贝尔法斯特甚至比罗马更让我共情，最后20分钟爆哭。小男孩很灵。
配乐很不错，里面出现的电影也很有趣，如果说是以孩子的视角表述这个故事，是很有童趣的，只是里面夹杂了一些很复杂的东西，让这部片子看起来也很复杂。如果只是讲家人之间的情感，同学朋友之间的小故事，邻里之间宗教之争，对于生养之地不想离别之情，这没准会是一部更纯粹好看的电影。
《罗马》蹩脚的模仿品，想成为阿方索却摸不到精髓，可悲又可怜，观感也是食之无趣，嚼之无味。
