Silent Film Star
Genres:
Documentary | History
Chronicles the
birth of European cinema, from the Lumiere brothers to World War I, and then
the first golden age of Swedish cinema, from the formation of Svenska Bio to
the departure for Hollywood of Stiller and Sjöström. The French build the first
studio, invent the traveling shot, and experiment in sound. Max Linder becomes
the first comedic star. The Italians do spectacle and early realism. Germans
invent film propaganda and have Lubitsch. The Danish cinema is rich before the
war. An affectionate portrait of Swedish cinema appreciates its cinematography,
led by Jaenzon, its conversion of novels into film, and the emergence of a
production company that owned its own theaters.
