"Michael" is another German, silent (don't be fooled by soundtrack that were added later on), black-and-white movie that had its 90th anniversary last year. The star is probably the director for this one. Carl Theodor Dreyer worked on several of the films that are considered silent film classics these. Maybe the fact that these old non-sound movies are not exactly my favorite genre is also the reason why I cannot appreciate his work as much as others do or I should maybe only refer to this film. Homosexuality 90 years ago is certainly an intriguing subject with how society would react to it, but I must say I was never impressed by these 90 minutes here, neither in terms of story or emotion, nor in terms of controversy or drama. The main character was also not particularly interesting or compelling to watch, probably a mix of mediocre writing and acting. This is also why I cannot recommend the watch here. Thumbs down.
