Well, I was worried before seeing "La Roue" (in English, The Wheel"), not only because the version I was about to watch was 3 hours long, but mostly because I don't excel at French (due to the inter titles) and wasn't sure if I could read the Spanish subtitles. But I understand Spanish and I could go through it without major translation problems. Now, when it comes to the movie as, well, a movie. Although long films were considered good in those days, and although I don't really mind long silents, this one was, indeed, long. The performances were good, but the story, in spite of being entertaining and engaging, it isn't the most spectacular thing. I guess Gance was thinking more about the innovations he used instead of the plot itself.
