Stunning work by Slavko Vorkapić

The Furies (1933)
music: Ludwig von Beethoven
score synchronized by Slavko Vorkapić

“Vorkapich hade complete creative freedom in writing, designing, directing and editing his montage sequences for feature films, his work was often reduced to its bones in the released productions. Here is the filmmaker’s original version of one of his outstanding efforts”

Thus reads the Youtube blurb to this wonderful clip; strange that I cannot find reference to this film over at IMDb.

Slavko Vorkapić (March 17 1894October 20 1976), was a SerbianAmerican film director and editor, university professor and painter, one of the most prominent figures of modern cinematography and film art, best-known for The Life and Death of 9413: a Hollywood Extra.
