A bizarre mostly-silent film, seemingly filmed through a kaleidoscope through much of the movie. A shocking amount of nudity (with vital parts hidden in shadow) for 1933. Assumes a thorough knowledge of the story of Sodom, and is hard to follow even with a familiarity.

The United States was the principal heir of the avant-garde film movement of Europe. With this in mind, it is important to understand that any adaptation to film represents an artistic decision, where there is always some degree of personal freedom. It is recommendable to read the first 26 verses of the 19th chapter of the Book of Genesis, as the short film stops right in the fate of Lot's wife. Sodom was an extremely prosperous city, with a prosperous geographical location that allowed for commerce and trade, "but the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly". However, the film only focuses on the last hours of life of the city; therefore, it is not supposed to be a loyal representation of its prosperity, and it dramatizes its perverted deviations to make a compelling collage with interesting views on sex and violence. Obviously, I am appreciating this from a cinematic perspective, and not in terms of historical accuracy (also, please let's omit the debate of Biblical vs. historical facts, as I believe and know that the Bible is God's Word, but that should not unleash an unnecessary argument between us). This adaptation stays away from the conservative censorship standards that were so strong by the time and constructs a spectacular visual amalgamation of French avant-garde techniques and German Expressionism remnants - especially if we consider Murnau's vision in his silent Goethe adaptation - to showcase impressive visuals thanks to the opportunity given to us viewers of having a metaphysical and omniscient clairvoyance. A marvelous use of lightning illuminates the dark attrezzo and highlights the sequences that symbolize something. It is a must for any film enthusiast, and especially for those seeking proof that the U.S.A. was also an important author of relevant pieces of experimentation. For some reason, its structure and power of delivery reminded me of Kenneth Anger's otherwordly theater, art and literature compilation, Inauguration of Pleasure Dome (1954). 99/100
