I'm watching silent films so you don't have to...
Silent film, 1923, German (what does it matter, it's silent?!!!), a deeply psychological look at an aristocratic gathering wherein all the unconscious desires of the nobility are given reign. Dreams, desires, sex and murder prevail, as represented by shadows, dreams and reflections, the gateways to the deeper unconscious...easily as rich as "El Topo", but without the color and dialogue a lot more difficult to follow.

Major Themes: Shadows, Doppelgangers, Dreams, Reflections, Lust, Sex, Death, Conscious, Unconscious
