The title means The Wheel and is used in the sense here of the wheel of life turning, rolling on indifferent to the needs or wants of individuals.
The film started with a bang...a train wreck heightened by quick cutting, stunning close ups, an overwhelming sense of dynamism and energy. Unfortunately it soon dissolved into victorian melodrama which centered on incest and focused intently on the dynamic between three people. This guy was a better filmmaker than a storyteller. Far too much bug-eyed "acting" sunk this to a modern sensibility.
Some slight historical value only.
