🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic romantic intrigue, relying on the familiar archetypes of the commedia dell'arte. It explores the shift of affections and playful courtship through the eloquent language of silent-era pantomime and gesture.
What lingers after viewing is the charm of a purely visual narrative, a delicate dance of desire and disappointment told without titles. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Alice Guy-Blaché
