The Mystic

The lighting in the seance scenes was incredible. + the score done by Dave Hurley gives the movie this ethereal atmosphere, which makes sense given that he would become a David Lynch collaborator

I wanted to take a picture of the title card but a lady yelled at me: YOUR PHONE, YOUNG LADY.

Great movie! The photography, the atmosphere, the music are all very good. I really enjoyed it. I think if I had seen it at home I wouldn't have liked it as much. In two hours, I'll go see a screening of The Gold Rush remastered in 4K! I'll do a better review there.

In my opinion, this is probably the worst of Browning's Circus trilogy. It doesn't have that something that made me love this film like the other two, but it's still intriguing and ultimately a good film.

The corrupting power of money. The redeeming power of love. The spookiness of ghosts. The Mystic has it all.
