Cosa aspettarsi
Murnau and Flaherty combine location photography, non-professional performers, lyrical movement, and fatalistic structure. Its beauty is inseparable from the colonial gaze through which the island world was staged.
Come avvicinarsi al film
The film is divided into Paradise and Paradise Lost. Hold its visual grace alongside the fact that the culture on screen is being arranged by outside filmmakers.
