Trying to make sense of films like these is a huge stress on people because nothing logically can be established. When I saw this film, I just let go. Things came more expectant, as if it were all a dream. Dreams are abstract as is surrealism. What disturbed me the most about this film, however, was not the famous eye-slit scene, but the shocking end. The deaths came at me like a freight train, because not even a dream-like state could prepare you for such a change in the fates, in such a graphic way, for no particular reason. This movie is definitely not what one would conventionally expect from a silent film! :) Some films are much easier to understand when you just let go.

I keep waiting for it to show up sometime at the Pacific Film Archives. Thanks for offering up your impressions. Quite the handsome site. When time affords, it will be great to come back and explore.
