Many thanks to the community of anonymous reviewers and editors who improved my thinking throughout this process. The chapter on Ordet is a modified and expanded version of an article published as “‘I Bid Thee Arise!’ Reverse-Editing and Reversal Miracles in Carl Theodor Dreyer’s Ordet” in Religion and the Arts (March 2012): 100–121. And the beginnings of the chapter on Diary of a Country Priest appear in “‘All is Grace’: Sound and Grace in Robert Bresson’s Diary of a Country Priest” in Imaginatio et Ratio 4 (2015): 16–26. I am grateful to John C. Lyden for professional encouragement, support, and advice throughout the years, as well as to Lina Aboujieb and Karina Jakupsdottir for taking a chance and providing helpful and inspiring guidance along the way. I also want to thank Denise Guibord Meister for her careful reading and thoughtful suggestions. Special gratitude remains for all the friends and family who gave hours of their lives listening to me talk through this project, especially my father Darryl Ponder and my mother Judi Schlesner. Finally, I’d like to thank my wife Deanna Singh for her patience during the many years of early mornings, late nights, and di
