Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

This silent film is cool enough to watch on its own—it’s spooky and foreign and beautiful. Add to that the incredibly good Mountain Goats soundtrack and it’s even better. It builds and builds with the action of the film and complements it perfectly.
