Film Review

The opening scenes, on a barge travelling a wide canal, are beautifully shot and redolent of the countryside; a pastoral celebration of the earth perhaps? But no, young Gudrun's father (inexplicably) falls or jumps from the boat and drowns, leaving her defenseless against her no-account uncle, who — rather startlingly for 1925 — attempts to rape her and is beat off by a local townsperson, who nevertheless laughs with him as Gudrun flees the boat and her old life.An interlude with a group of bohemians seems promising, but after the young poacher in the family burns down a prosperous farmer's haystack and then finds his own wagon destroyed in retaliation, Gudrun is on the run again.

The accompanying organ score is effectively evocative to begin with but, eventually, it takes a tediously avant-gardist turn.The film's barge opening anticipates Jean Vigo's L'ATALANTE (1934) and the search at sea, F….
