Apparently, this film is incomplete...

It's hard to judge this film as it only seems to exist in fragmentary form--at about four minutes in length. The film begins with the goddess Diana on the moon in a rather quaint scene. Then, below, Pan and the rest dance about. This is followed by a solo dance by Pan and then you see a bunch of diaphanous ladies dancing about. There doesn't seem to be a lot of obvious plot and it's more like a dancing showcase. While none of this did a lot for me, I appreciated the director's artistic style--even if the dancing itself seemed a bit silly and overdone at times. A moderately interesting piece of avant-garde cinema, but not much more.
