About This Movie

Regine is this atmospheric piece from 1935, weaving a tale of love and heartache. Frank, an engineer who's returned home, finds himself entangled with Regine, his uncle's housemaid. The film's pacing feels like a slow dance, drawing you into the characters' emotional struggles. The tension rises as Floris, a jilted lover, sets his sights on ruining Regine's life, leaving her in a desperate place. There’s a palpable weight to the performances that heightens the mood; you can't help but feel for Regine as she grapples with despair. It’s not just a love story—it’s about societal judgment and personal ruin, wrapped up in a period setting that feels rich and real.

Regine is somewhat elusive in the collector's market, often not turning up in standard listings. It was released on a few formats, but the scarcity of prints makes it a gem among vintage film enthusiasts. The film’s nuanced exploration of personal conflict and societal pressures has drawn interest from collectors who appreciate early 20th-century dramas.
