Name: Hanneles Himmelfahrt
Genre: Drama
Released: 1922-07-20
Duration: 1 h 45 min
Cast: Margarete Schlegel, Margarete Schön, Hermann Vallentin

Hauptman's Traumgedicht (dream poem) was extended for this film. The alterations do nothing extra to the original work; except from the final scenes where the mysticism of the dream poem is shown, we see a not so original melodrama with too stereotyped characters.

But there are plenty scenes well done; Urban Gad makes good use of the fine sets and he has enough fine ideas to make this film worth-while watching. One example of Urban Gad's telling the story in images: first a scene with the dying mother in her bed, followed by a scene in which the rough and insensitive husband, fully clothed and with dirty boots, takes a nap on the same bed. Then there is also the use of double exposure in the final, mystic scenes, though these scenes take a rather long time.

Special mention of Margarete Schlegel who seems more at ease with film acting than the rest of the cast (though good enough),

I recently saw a restored copy (Dutch Filmmuseum) that is tinted and runs about 105 minutes

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
