More of Die Asta (and her pastor object of affection) from 1919’s TOWARDS THE LIGHT. Yes, I really liked this one, how can you tell? #silentfilm #danishfilms

Free #silentfilm alert! TOWARDS THE LIGHT (1919), last Danish production with Asta Nielsen, is available with English subs and a nice piano score at stumfilm.dk. And it’s a pretty good one to boot. As name implies, big religious overtones as Die Asta sins, her life falls apart, then she falls for a preacher. With that setup, as you might imagine, a lot of symbolism throughout. Nice climax involving a big fire. And a nice showcase for Asta in her prime too. #danishfilms
