this was as much fun as all the rest of them. biscot mugs a bit but he's incredibly versatile

la femme fatale (1912)

exactly as it promises (you've seen this misogynist story a million times before) inc brief courtroom scene, duels, destitution by the seine, apache dances, syphilis etc.

but i did appreciate the glorious callousness of this scene where she lights her cigarette with the telegram informing her that a lover has been killed

l'x noir - léonce perret (1916)

good old rambunctious perret, turning a sexy crime drama into a cine-disquisition on the elusiveness of the false image ♥

finished my skin book so watched something appropriate

the death mask - jay hunt/thomas h ince (1914)

[rischka]

i watched a silent movie hurrah! bruden 1929



hochbaum, in his first feature, shows his love of ports and harbors



a great labor film abt striking dockworkers in 1896, using amateur actors, produced by the social democrats, and dedicated to sternberg



beautiful work ♥
