an absolute masterpiece of silent cinema. on the trials of old age, and attachment to a now unattainable past. the photography is something to behold, and there is one sequence in particular (drunken dreamland) that is astonishing. the ending seems to receive hate, but the viciously cynical counterpoint to an extremely sad story is wonderful in its brutality, and extremely courageous, especially for its time. perhaps a little overlong in places, notably in the ending, but otherwise brilliant.
