Gertrud is a 1964 Danish film directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer, based on the 1906 play of the same name by Hjalmar Söderberg. The title role of Gertrud Kanning is played by Nina Pens Rode, with Bendt Rothe as her husband, Gustav Kanning, and Baard Owe as her lover, Erland Jansson.
Gertrud was Dreyer's final film. It is notable for its very long takes, which include a 9 minute, 56 second take of Gerturd and her ex-lover, Gabriel, talking about their pasts.
The film won the FIPRESCI prize at the 1965 Venice Film Festival.
