Review title: Wrong speed!
Product review: I had a long argument with KINO after this restoration was released in the theaters. I know how difficult it would have been to release it theatrically at anything other than 24 fps. But with the DVD, we finally had a chance to see this film at the correct speed! They refused.The claims of 24 being the "authentic" speed all rest on one score that actually has "28 fps" hand-written on it. I think that was just somene's error.The simple fact is that if you watch the film, it is clearly shot at silent speed. People are sped-up at 24fps, as they are in all silent films. It's painful to watch.So sad - KINO could've included a version at the correct speed, even with no sound - I would've happily played my own music while I watched this beautiful restoration at the right speed. As it is, we have a gorgeous print with characters who move like the Keystone Cops - what a missed opportunity.
