His 1925 play '' Ordet '' ( '' The Word '' ) is often said to have been his best work ; it is an investigation of miracles from the unique ( at least , to theatre ) viewpoint of one who was not prepared to dismiss them . A family of farmers — of differing degrees of faith — find themselves reconciled to their neighbours through a miracle . A 1943 film adaptation titled '' The Word '' was directed by Gustaf Molander . A 1955 film version of '' Ordet '' was directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer , and won numerous awards , including the Golden Lion at the 16th Venice International Film Festival and the 1956 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film
