Sadly, I've only seen 'The Devil's Ball', a sadly truncated super-8 excerpt from this rare, part live action, part animated 1934 feature.
But on the evidence of just that short sequence the full film would have to qualify as a lost masterpiece, highlighted by some incredibly detailed pixillation using chicken skeletons, dead fish, and a variety of other unorthodox props, suggesting the more macabre canvases of Hieronymous Bosch.
Even in such an inadequate format it's a glimpse of eye-opening creativity from an enigmatic genius whose work, regrettably, is almost entirely unknown today.
