Lefteris Becerra's rating of the film From Morning to Midnight
Lefteris Becerra

gran película expresionista, una especie de die strasse de cartulina y gis (dogvillesca + cachirulesca), pero con muchos detalles fascinantes. una locura cinematográfica muy del estilo pesadillesco tan gustado por los alemanes en crisis tras la derrota de la primera guerra mundial. indispensable para quienes gustan de lo oscuro, fatal y siniestro --y poco conocido

It isn't indeed, that's from the play version in 1912. Excuse my mistake.

This one stands next to "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" as an archetypal example of expressionist filmmaking.
