SB/30084 The Blue Light. (4 Reels.) One of the last of the German mountain films, and probably the best. " A. film of extraordinary beauty, pictorial power and of a rare rhythmic continuity," as one critic has said. A co-operative effort by Leni Riefenstahl (director and leading actress), Hans Schneeberger (cameraman), and Bela Balazs (writer). With Theodore Weimann, and the villagers of the Saarn Valley. This time it is summer up in the mountains, and the camera catches all the shimmering beauty of the tree-filled glades and sparkling rocks. The story is based on an old legend of the Dolomites, concerning a mysterious glowing light on a mountain top, which can be reached in safety only by Junta, a strange outcast girl in direct communion with nature. Eventually a visitor to the village climbs to investigate, and finds that the light emanates from a rich deposit of crystal. The results of his discovery are beneficial to the villagers, but disastrous to Junta. Note, among a great deal of interest in this wonderful film, the striking use of close-ups of peasant faces, and of time-lapse photography when the sun rises or sets on the peaks.
