Cabiria Movie Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars One of the first big dramatic epics.
I agree with the earlier reviewer. When cinema was just about being understood as a serious rather than novel medium, this grand historical epic came along to show what could be done. A lavish production and one of the last using the more theatrical technique of fixed camera tableaux (which detracts nothing from it). Brilliant acting without excessive melodrama. A must for any serious silent era collection

5 stars a classic
A masterpiece.Not just a silent classic-- but an all time classic.This film was made in 1914 when movie-making was at its infantile stage,and its existance has been a major influence ever since.The direction is amazing,the production design is brillant,the acting is grand and the writing is excellent;thats right I said writing.Even for a silent film the dialogue it gives to us{the viewer}to read is great writing.If the screenplay was written today--it would certainly win the academy award for best screenplay;along with oscars for best-picture,director and cinematography.One of the best.

Melies The Magician DVD (1898)

Cabiria film

$29.49
Georges Melies' innovations led to some of the earliest examples of fantasy filmmaking in the history of cinema. His creative time lapses, early experiments and use of the cinematic technique gave birth to ways of storytelling still commonly used today. This collection of shorts and experiments ranges from avant-garde to science fiction to documentary and greatly influenced the art of cinema both as a narrative form and a dreamy forum for magical imagery. Included in this collection are the following short films: "The Four Troublesome Heads" (1898), "Fat and Lean Wrestling Match" (1900),"The One-Man Band" (1900), "The Man with the Rubber Head" (1901), "Bluebeard" (1901), "A Trip to the Moon" (1902), "The Infernal Boiling Pot" (1903), "The Infernal Cakewalk" (1903), "The Music Lover (1903), The Living Playing Cards (1904), Hilarious ...

Avant Garde: Experimental Cinema Of The 1920'S And '30'S DVDs (1921)

Raymond Rohauer is often associated with his work preserving and promoting the films of Buster Keaton. But he was also one of the biggest supporters of experimental and avant-garde filmmaking during the latter half of the 20th Century, and this collection presents some of the highlights of his archive. The 24 titles by highly influential artists and filmmakers represent many of of the movements and innovations emerging at the time, which remain influential within the art world. Marcel Duchamp, whose readymade sculptures and theories of art and spectatorship were truly revolutionary, made ANEMIC CIMEMA in 1926, as an experiment in tricks of both the eye and word. Fernand Leger's BALLET MECANIQUE is a stunning dance of mechanical parts at work, an example of modernism's interest in the aesthetics of the machine, and Viking Eggeling's objective SYMPHONIE DIAGONAL displays many of those concerns as well. MANHATTA, by photographer Paul Strand and painter/ photographer Charles Sheerer, is sometimes described as the first American avant-garde film, and takes as its subject a day in the life of New York City. The multiple films by American Dadaist and Surrealist Man Ray include EMAK-BAKIA, L'ETOILE DE MER, LE RETOUR A LA RAISON, AND LES MYSTERES DU CHATEAU DU DE. Each is an example of the remarkable ...

Not merely a cinematic portrait of a day in the life of a city, cinema pioneer Dziga Vertov's MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA is an experimental manifesto of vision. Controversial when it was created in 1929, the film still pulses with the unruly energy and innovation of Vertov's genius. Subverting and criticizing the conventions of capitalist fiction filmmaking that ...

In Fritz Lang's only movie made in France, a good-for-nothing carousel operator, Liliom (Charles Boyer) wreaks havoc on his own life and those of the women who love him. When he falls for beautiful and innocent Julie, Liliom trades in his carnival life and the unrequited love of carnival owner Madame Muscat for domestic bliss. But later, when he botches a robbery attempt, and cannot face his pregnant wife, Julie, he attempts to kill himself. But even that fails. Liliom is refused by the strict gatekeepers of Heaven. The gatekeepers show Liliom films of his misdeeds, including footage of him beating Julie, and Liliom is sent straight to purgatory. There he awaits the sixteenth birthday of his daughter, for which the angels have chosen to give him a second chance to make good. The mixture of gritty realism and expressionist fantasy ...
