Reviews
I wish I liked it more because this has the doings of a great adventure film, but too bad for the silent time - it did not quite work so well here. It is all too messy in its try to be a big movie - partly due to the sets and partly because of the coloring and maybe the quality of the preserved film. I can understand the go of the film, but nothing is really clear until I read the Star-Film description. There are lots of high points in this ambitious project for sure, but in the end, it is just a longer average Melies film set in India.
