I watched the English language version, usually titled The Mistress of Atlantis. Famed director G. W. Pabst made some great films - this isn't one of them. This one is visually interesting, almost dreamlike, and creates dark mood... While the use of native peoples and the exotic locale does excite, this adventure film possesses more atmosphere than action. The lack of a proper restoration renders the film kinda dull and hard to follow...,parts of it seem to be missing, and there is a crude insertion of a dream sequence that is a bit jarring. The camels almost stole the show for me. If this film ever gets 'fixed' I'm sure it will become a better product. As is , this is barely a 6.
