This German reconstruction of the sinking of the Titanic was released just four months after the infamous disaster, and begins well with footage of passengers boarding the ill-fated liner and relaxing on-board in the days before it struck an iceberg. Unfortunately, things quickly deteriorate as actors take over, and director Mime Misu allows scenes in which little happens to go on forever. Emphasis is placed on the heroism of the crew rather than the widespread panic and deaths of the passengers, therefore giving an incomplete and unsatisfying version of events.
