First, let me state that I am a big fan of Foreign and Silent Films. I count Ingmar Bergman and Sergei Eisenstein among my favorites. Because this film has such a favorable reputation I looked forward to viewing it. I sat through the entire film, because I thought I must be missing something. I wasn't. How can this boring and silly film be considered a masterpiece? The acting (acting?) conveys either boredom or ridiculous hysteria, with nothing in between. Story is nonexistent with a complete lack of editing. The camera dwells on objects for interminable lengths of time, to the point that you wonder if it was intentional. I suppose that art lies in the eyes of the beholder, but this film provided me with the longest 73 minutes of my life.
