English Title: Mute Witnesses
Synopsis: A man loves a woman but is not loved back. The man's maid develops some affection for him.
Appraisal: Though the story told by this film leaves something to be desired in terms of arousing my interest, I have to acknowledge the remarkable work of mise-en-scène, truly an event for the year in which it was made. Not only the actors were brilliantly directed, but the composition of the scenes was often intelligent, making the most of the still shots that were mandatory at that time. The film also has some interesting insights about class relations at the beginning of the century.
