Two slightly different versions of the same film
This is far from classic Dreyer but is interesting as an early work, for its melodramatic techniques and homosexual undertones. Do note though that DVD 1 of this set is the American version - with bland piano accompaniment and modern intertitles. DVD 2 - the European version - has a more complex, apparently improvised jazz score and the original intertitles. Personally, I wish I'd only ordered disc 2, which also has a radio interview with Dreyer (disc 1 has a commentary from some academic).

Unneccesary disc 2
After reading the review of this film I chose to order both disc 1 and 2 of the package. I thouroughly enjoyed disc1 which turned out to be the English language version of this silent movie It includes an excellent commentary which enhances viewing. Disc 2 on the other hand is classed as the European version which includes the same movie but the Textboards are written in German with English subtitles. I've harshly rated this disc as 2 stars while disc 1 gets 4. this is because the majority of viewers won't need or want to see this disc. There are no interesting extra's on it either. In my view this was an unneccesary order.
