I attended this year's silent film festival (Le Giornate del Cinema Muto) in Pordenone, Italy. One of the movie experiences - and quite the experience it was! - was a showing of both films in Fritz Lang's Die Nibelungen saga.
After the first film (147 minutes), we had an hour break for dinner. It's not easy to scamper quickly to a restaurant when you've been glued to the screen all day. I was a few minutes late for the start of the second movie.
This is a movie saga like no other. Everything is fascinating about it; the story, the performances, the direction, the set and costume designs. Yes, it's long, so it's not for everyone. But it's worth the time taken to watch.
