About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sweeping, sad silent-era drama with big emotions, crowds, and a sympathetic outsider at its center; Not for you if you dislike long silent films or heavy tragedy like The Phantom of the Opera.
Pros: powerful tragic emotions; memorable lead performance; grand cathedral setting | Cons: long runtime; many subplots; uneven supporting roles
