Negative Positive
Title: little boring
Review: While this is supposed to be one of the great expressionism films of the early 20th century, I found this one somewhat dull and the premise out dated. The movie takes advantage of the early interest in psychoanalysis and is based on the premise that if the one repressed "feeling" is revealed in your tormented life you will live happily ever after (Even Hitchcock had trouble with this in "Spellbound").I bought this film as part of Kino's boxed set "German Expressionism Collection," and its definitely the weakest of the four in the set. This film has very little entertainment value. Watch it as an example of expressionism films, but not if you are overly tired. And don't pay full price.
Is the review positive or negative?
