If you like silent films this is probably essential viewing, as it is considered one of the most expressive and emotionally rich ever made. It's not epic like Birth of a Nation nor fun like the Charlie Chaplin films nor even exciting (even now!) like Buster Keaton's The Great Train Robbery. But it is beautifully made and acted and only takes up an hour and a half of your life. Give it a spin, unless you've already decided you hate old movies, in which case do not.
