    Naturalism And Expressionism
    The miner's daughter Maria is pregnant, left by the children's father and driven away by her own father from the house…those are many disgraces even for a tough German girl… The pitman Thomas accept her and the baby and marries Mary but the seducer Georg, the father of Maria's children, emerges from the Teutonic shadows and ensnares Maria again. There will come a confrontation between these men. Thomas will hunt down Georg into the mine depths and it will be there, due to a methane explosion, that Thomas, Georg and Maria will be buried alive.

    "Schlagende Wetter" ( Trapped In The Mine ) was directed by Herr Karl Grune before his masterpiece "Die Strasse" (1923) and it was an excellent advance of the ( post ) Expressionist characteristics shown in the former film. However, in "Schlagende Wetter" there is room for two different genre film concepts: "Naturalism", depicting the daily life and surroundings of the miners ( the film was set in the Rühr area ) and the aforementioned "Expressionism", with its settings and art design, remarkably oppressive mine scenes of a hazardous life ( dark, hopeless ) and the conflicts that live in the main characters of the film.

    Only one print survived in Italian and it is lacking one whole reel ( the second of five parts ). But, in spite such mutilation, the film can be enjoyed. Herr Karl Grune's mastery at depicting tormented souls that finally find their own particular atonement is to be appreciated.

    And now, if you'll allow me, I must temporarily take my leave because this German Count must order their servants to continue to mine for gold in the Schloss deposits.
