I think you mean _1900_, no? I think that's the only film I've ever seen where I honestly felt the cinematography was enough by itself to make the film great even though the dialogue (as rendered into English) was completely wooden. Which is some feat considering it's an historical film and four hours long. Although I hear that in the original 5 hour version, things flow more smoothly.
