SODOM AND GOMORRHA - Michael Kertész's 1922 silent epic was the most opulent, lavish, Austrian feature film to date. More than 3,000 extras are employed, and Julius von Borsody and Edgar G. Ulmer provide an exceedingly spectacular set design, an aesthetic that short-circuits the shadows and steep angles of Expressionism with the crowds and monumental buildings of the antique film.
