Review of L'Atlantide

The landscape and Atlantis settings are interesting, the cinematography is effective, the acting fine and the story interesting with a good open ending. Did Lt. Saint-Avit perish in the desert or did he make his way back to Atlantis? All well and good but I would have given it a higher rating but for the absence of most of the film by Antinéa, played by Brigitte Helm. She is barely in it which is a shame as when she is onscreen Ms. Helm is riveting but you don't get to know her in any way. A good film anyway from director G.W. Pabst.
