I watched Ordet, and I'm a little confused as to what it is about. That miracles can happen, contrary to modern thought? That people can rise from the dead as long as your faith is great enough to believe in it? I was a little disturbed by it, quite honestly.

Is the miracle that happens at the end a metaphor? If so, what's it a metaphor of?

I've not seen it, so I'm of very little help, but Carlos Reygadas reworked the same theme, I think, in Silent Light. That too baffled me.

I took it to be kind of a wishful expression of the idea that sheer force of grief and longing might bring back a loved one.
Reygadas' use of the same device was in the context of sacrifice and selflessness though, which doesn't work quite the same way.
