Another viewing at the Forssa Silent Film Festival 2024. I applaud their goal to show more of Finnish silent film because this certainly was a lovely experience. I'm very grateful.
I learned that this 35mm film hasn't been screened often because for a long time it was in shambles. Nothing was in order and all the title cards were lost. The film was reconstructed in 2019 and new title cards were created. Apparently this was the first screening since then.…
I saw this at the Forssa Silent Film Festival 2024. The screening was accompanied by a pianist.
Firstly I'd like to note that this was my second time at the Forssa silent film festival. This year's theme is American masterpieces. The theatre was established in 1906 and it's always a beautiful experience just being there. There was also something very authentic about the atmosphere during the intermission halfway through when the staff had to change reels.
The film in itself…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Okay, I have to admit I was kinda disappointed when Rigel didn't turn into a werewolf...
The amount of satisfaction when I get to press the thumbs-down icon on Netflix after a film like this. Good gracious!
