The Hearts of Age

I just sort of bumped into this film. Orson Wells' first independent movie made in 1934.  A Cryptic glimpse into The Soul of an Artistic Genius. Eight minutes of expressionist surrealism with simple but stunning Cinematography and Makeup. Welles evokes more sympathy for His Monster than The Great Boris Karloff mustered for His Frankenstein. I appreciate it more each time I watch it.

Whew! Very interesting, but waay beyond ME! Loved the groovy, blusey, guitar pickin' by that Marotta guy, too.
