Very Pordenone silent film week.
What we get is a curiosity - early days attempt at film direction by Reinhardt, whose major contribution to the movies will be in the influence he had on associates who went on to glory in Berlin and Hollywood.
This one features rhythmic miming characters acting out what may be a dream of the overnight stay at the Venetian canal side hotel.
Not the easiest film to follow and lacking any striking innovation.
We might have hoped for more with Alfred Abel (the father from METROPOLIS)and cameraman Freund on hand.
