Interesting film, but those streeeeeeeeeeeetched-out credits drove me bananas. Over two minutes' worth?

Thank you so much for sharing this film!

@dearmalika Thank you for taking the time to watch this film., and all other thanks go of course to that almost forgotten director as well as to the musicians who more or less improvised the soundtrack live. - However, I have to admit that personally I prefer the empathic soundtrack by violin player Paul Mercier. The whole film with his music seems no longer available on YouTube but at least here is at least one scene: youtube.com/watch?v=FzrkFTXHwL­M

Amazing to discover how developed was cinema storytelling so early

@danielabreu

Not at all amazing. ;)

It was, in fact, much better - more finely and astutely - developed than today, when everything is spelled out in huge block letters, as it were.

And it had to be, precisely because the technical means were modest compared to cinema in our days.

That's why visual expression, relying solely on the spectator's sight, attention and and interpretation, had to be very finely tuned and convincing.
