🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs a narrative on contrast, pitting a romantic line against grotesque phantasmagoria. He relies on the visual metaphors of silent cinema to convey both the comedic horror of the curse and the touching naivety of the heroine's feelings.
Those who tire of conventional romances will find a bizarre blend of melodrama and dark humor here, where an absurd plot device prompts reflection on desire and jealousy. What lingers after the curtain falls is a sense of gentle irony. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Alfred Zeisler

Watch in good spirits with a hot drink, as a peculiar fairy tale for adults.
