Certainly knows how to make himself at home and remain impervious to all efforts to make him push off. He'd make a great in-law.

The challenge of silent film making...

Being freaky, or heroic, or conflicted, or nefarious.... without dialog.

There's a whole lot of 30s foreshadowing in this film

A recurring motif, along with Dies Irae in the soundtrack.

Yes, matron.

Except for that one actor who seems to have hit the PAWS button in regards to Maria.

Blimey. That was quite intense. Loads to take in.
 
Cygnus Bazza
It's quite a draining film to watch, in a good way.
 
OneSparePart
I can see why people 'witter on' about it. Even the acting is halfway decent.
