Commentary
Slow-motion effect suggests the film could originate from the mid-1920s. Documentary. Several shots. Could be a newsreel subject. No direct expressionist dance. A funny scene, could maybe be a pratice or a performance for the press. Single scene: a revue group sits on a revolving platform, the background is reminiscent of a small city, very blurred. (1m)
