Movie Reviews of The Blue Light
Movie Review: 2006 Pathfinder DVD is good
Summary: 4 Stars
As noted in the Product Description of this 2006 Pathfinder Home Entertainment DVD, two different versions of the film are included on the disc, as well as a stills gallery. The two versions are taken from different prints, neither of which has undergone the sort of thorough restoration process that viewers may have become accustomed to with a few other older films.
The spoken German version, with nonremovable English subtitles, has a total run time of 79' 09". It is in quite good but not perfect condition, with some amount of fuzziness in the picture. The dialog was redubbed in the studio, as was almost universally done with all early sound films. This print has the original music score by Giuseppe Becce. Although not pristine, both video and audio are entirely acceptable for this lovely and historically important film.
The silent version runs only 52' 19", even with intertitle cards included, but I haven't tried to compare them to see what scenes have been cut. This print, with truncated credits in English, is in extremely poor condition and is barely watchable. Also it has a different and weirdly inappropriate musical score that sounds rather like circus music. Apparently it's this very bad print transferred to VHS that other reviewers have complained about.
Summary of The Blue Light
Junta is hated by the people in the village where she lives, especially by the women, who suspect her of being a witch. Only she can climb the nearby mountains to a cave high up, whence a mysterious blue light glows when the moon is full. Many young men of the village have died trying to follow her. She is soon driven out of town, and takes to living in the mountains. Eventually, she shares the secret of the blue light with one man, and he betrays it.SPECIAL FEATURES: Chapter Selections, the original German version (79 min)with English subtitles, rare English silent version (52 min), Still Gallery, Dolby 2.0 audio.
