have first see the director 12min take on poe fall of the house of usher and i be look forward to see this one too and wasn not disappoint at all . though perhaps not quite up to the same level of artistic attainment a usher it be nevertheless very much in the same vein . like the usher and the viewer should be familiar beforehand with the story on which it be base . in 1928 and the director and watson and webber and could have safely assume the audience knowledge of the biblical tale . ( interestingly and apart from the actual genesis account and a phrase from the song of song be also use when lot be offer his daughter to the mob outside and desperately try to convince them of the attraction of woman ) . to complain that the film do not present the plot more overtly be beside the point and and almost a declaration of ignorance . the basic of this tale ( for those that know them ) survive intact it retell through the particularly distinctively visual and sometimes abstract or symbolic approach of webber and watson and and it protagonist be all clearly identifiable and well portray by the actor . on the whole and a more accessible film than the usher film from the same director . it bear and even demand and repeat watching . my only wish be that webber and watson have make more than just these two film together .
