I went in blind to a 35mm screening of this film. Despite the music being very grating and 'of it's cinematic time', i.e. Orchestral and serious through the entire thing, the film overall was interesting.

The acting is dramatic and expressionist, sometimes being tedious, but fitting in with the German expressionism influence. The film picks up when a change of setting happens, and you begin to emotionally engage with the plot and its protagonists. Elegantly shot, the set design appears theatrical and confined, yet it is but a background when the acting is so profound.

Worth watching once....
