Die arme Jenny

Asta Nielsen, one of the greatest female stars of the European cinema during the 1910s stars in this tragedy by Urban Gad. He himself a highly respected director at the time collaborating on many of her movies. Poor Jenny is a fairly typical melodrama of the time. Hardly any rays of sunshine coming into the life of Jenny as she fades more and more into depression as everyone takes advantage of her. Decent acting, but not one of their better works in my eyes. Just a sad one.
