The recent Irma Vep series nudged me to go back and have another look at the piece. Started it on TCM some time , thought the first 3 episodes OK then dropped out due to lack of anything of interest.
This time around I failed to connect with anything. Lasted about 20 minutes . Did not help to have full chamber music pieces as accompaniment on the you tube video. Had to jump around to see if I could find any dramatic or outre bit of interest. Nope I like some silents ; will eventually get around to watching The Wheel in its recently released 7 hour version. Liked the 4 hour cut.
This piece was worse than the worst bits of Lang for overly long scenes, at least the Lang films had some meat on the bone.. Can't recommend for anything. Was the bull killed for real ?
