I saw this film at the NYC expecting (as billed) "a bold technologically advanced silent film." As a fan of silent cinema, I had great expectations for a re-telling of a classic tale. Sad to say this movie does not live up to the hype. set in modern times this movie tells the very typical silent movie plot of the forlorn women who ends up the prey of a white slaver. There were zillions of silent movies w/ this plot and they all were done better 80 years ago. the 3 leads are miscast, especially the female lead who is too old and not nubile enough. and the silent acting only touches upon the classic style of the genre. Almost becomes camp at points, as the audience giggled at many inappropriate moments. I see no audience for silent films fans, and certainly no audience for others.
