Sir Arne’s Treasure (1919) IMDb
Extent |
Review refers to the 2001 restoration, seen with the excellent live accompaniment of three musicians on six instruments, including Matti Bye, whose somewhat gloomy score it was. |
Commentary |
Brilliant trick filming and moving camera. Stiffly structured and too faithful to the literary original, as the director (Mauritz Stiller) later realized. The ultimately heavy-handed, punitive moralism is also unfortunate. |
