A movie to be appreciated, not enjoyed. Gance continues to impress me as a filmmaker, using a wide variety of pretty shocking techniques (handheld-esque camera movement, widescreen??) to enhance emotional impact or to develop themes (lots of superimposition, etc.) I'm particularly in love with his editing style, which can recall the best of Eisenstein when it's done well. But unfortunately, his editing prowess doesn't extend to cutting down the length of this films, as this one is over 5 hours AGAIN. And unlike La Roue, the story and characters just aren't compelling to me in the slightest, so it felt like a slog to get through.
