Ordered In Chinese food and watched Lang's Die Nibelungen, which is what I imagine Iris Whitcomb's movies in Experimental Film would have looked like, except with a bigger budget:

Plotwise, I mostly just feel sorry for Atilla the Hun (Rudolph Klein-Rogge).

Just one of those parties that got out of hand.

The first movie ends with Sigfried being murdered by an assassin sent by the King of Burgendy, his brother-in-law and formerly his best friend. Kriemhild, Sigfried's wife, can't get anyone to do anything about it -- she knows who the assassin was, but her brothers keep throwing themselves in front of him. Kriemhild vows revenge, which frankly is a great improvement over her previous sugary and naive personality

Attila orders that she be buried alongside her first husband. We hope he meets someone nice later and can start over.

I can see how being in someone else's revenge plot was maybe not the most satisfying thing he could have done with his life.

(I had also forgotten that the Niebelungenlied includes actual Attila the Hun, which, sure, if it's got Burgundians, why not.)
