🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a narrative on the contrast between two worlds: dull domesticity and bright, dangerous freedom. It explores the theme of marital infidelity, relying on the visual metaphor of the characters' appearance.

What lingers after viewing is a sense of the surprising modernity of some themes boldly addressed for 1918, presented through melodrama and subtle satire. — MovieFinder Editorial
