From what Jit has written, I’ve missed out on a lot, as this is the 35mm version with soundtrack (sound effects, music, voices, and Isabella Rossellini as the “interlocutor”). As for the film, it’s a fevered fantasy that anyone in love with silent film (and the memories of scratchy, jumpy prints) will repond to – although for me (as with the only other Madddin film I’ve seen, Twilight of the Ice Nymphs) it did go on for a bit too long.
