drip with symbolism and fill with marvelous cinematography and extase be so much more than the erotic drama we have all come to expect . this be almost a silent film and with what dialogue there be in german and and highly simplified german at that . perhaps the filmmaker intend the film to reach the wide possible european audience and a anyone with even a little high school level deutsch can easily dispense with the subtitle . the story be of little importance anyway and with the film succeed on a cinematic level and not a narrative one . symbol of fecundity and the power of nature overwhelm the human character there be even scene where flower obscure the face of suppose star hedy lamarr and there be moment here that will remind viewer of the work of dreyer and vertov and and riefenstahl . if the film have any message to convey and i think it a political one represent bourgeois man be timid and impotent while work class man be a happy and productive creature while and woman be the creator and destine to be unfulfilled until she have bear a child . this blend of soviet socialist realism and national socialist dogma doesn not overwhelm the film by any mean it a beauty to watch from begin to end but it do place it in a very distinct artistic era . and and oh yeah and hedy do get her kit off .
