I'm not sure if I'm qualified to comment on this film, being that I'm not a film student and never have been, and I'm not one that reads all kinds of things that may or not be into what I'm seeing. However, I'll give this my best shot. This is an incredibly weird film from 1930 and I loved it. It's full of black humor, and it's got some rather kinky bits that one would not expect to see in a film from that particular era, like a woman sucking on the toes of a statue? The film begins with something like an educational film on scorpions, and then moves on from there. If you're looking for someone to tell you what this film is about, find someone else, because I couldn't honestly tell you, but personally I didn't care because I just sat back and marveled at this bizarre piece of work. It's only about an hour long but it is a wonderful way to spend an hour, but I think the last bit is something that may be offensive to some, blasphemy, I think the word is, but didn't bother me...9 out of 10, incredible for the era in which it was made.
