Preceded by:
LA VILLANELLE DES RUBANS (THE VILLANELLE OF RIBBONS)
A filmed song. (1932, 7 mins, In French, B&W, 35mm, From La Cinémathèque française)
An ode to transportation, as well as to every possible kind of cinematic movement, Epstein’s film features the intrigue of a love triangle and the theme of a desire for world travel. It carries the plot over a great deal of terrain in the process. Even with its hammy acting and over-deliberate dialogue, the film features moments of both visual and audio bravado typical of Epstein’s penchant for derailing narrative lines with cinematic excesses.
Part of the JEAN EPSTEIN series at the BAMPFA.
Free gallery admission with same-day film ticket!
