Die Herrin von Atlantis - 1932 - 6/10
Trying to control feuding tribes, two French Legionnaires get lost in the Sahara.
Who are then abducted and transported endlessly downstairs.
Based on the opening monologue, we are supposed to accept this as Atlantis.
Everything from attire to activities to kief abuse argue against this.
Then there is the ruling queen, Antinéa, who, aside from local music, dining, and a pet leopard, her main distraction is capturing and draining lost menfolk.
Frustratingly, this aspect is barely alluded to. Director Pabst of 4 years earlier was bolder.
Very slow “adventure” film. Check the sexier 1949 remake, Siren Of Atlantis.
