Thank you Grapevine Videos for preserving so many classic silents like this one.
The remarkable thing about this film is the obvious love of Dickens' writing that the director and cast show. The director made sure of using the real settings that Dickens' describes in his story. So that when David enters the city of Canterbury, we see the famous stone arch that welcomes the typical visitor to this day.
Even the over the top acting works well, as it gives modern day audiences an idea of how Dickens timeless melodramas were treated by its Victorian actors.
A definite must see for the Dickens' fans.

Dreyer was one of those few filmmakers who uses the art to expand the viewers' mind beyond what they normally experience when watching a movie. whether you see Vampyr as proof for blood-sucking vampires, or just as a fantastic tale of one man's tenuous grip on reality, this is an experience that will hold you for a long time past its running time.
What Dreyer, and possibly Tarnovsky, gives us as an audience, is the rare chance to see ourselves through the magic of highly personal filmmaking. What I realized as I watched this amazing film was not allan grey's viewpoint, but a real chance to explore my own spiritual and intellectual ideas of reality and fantasy and how blurred they are for each of us at various times.
because Dreyer did not give us much background on the main character and cast a non-actor for the part, it gives us a rare chance to feel the experiences he encounters in whatever way we wish. By manipulating the way in which we view grey's experiences, the filmmaker challenges us to take a second look at how quickly we try to make up our mind on what we are viewing. as grey is given a second chance to see things in a different way and escape from the prison, or coffin, he places himself in initially, so must we all open our minds up to the manipulations placed on us by others and break out of our own self imposed and often terrifying confinement.

this film was so many eons in front of any other film event of the time, that even now it hits people in a personal way. every modern independent filmmaker should be, if not already is, aware of the power of this auteur's mark on their own personal vision.
after almost thirty years after witnessing this movie for the first time, i am made more aware of the invaluable efforts he has given both to the non-hollywood, innovative filmmaker, and more importantly to the viewer who desires something more than a fleeting emotional right turn into la la land.
this film lives to remind us not only of our fragilities as human beings, but also our potential strengths when suddenly made aware of the support others need from us. witness the amazing moments when jeannie and frankie in two seperate parts of the movie are suddenly made aware of their strengths in helping the person they are with to at least temporarily survive their emotional and real attempts at destroying themselves.
this film is replete with sudden jolts underlined by the deliberate use of disturbing visuals and unfinished dialogue to remind us of our own often disjointed and unfinished lives. just as one person in the film must get slapped to wake-up to her own reason for being, we must be able to take the slaps this movie gives to see ours. thank you john.
