| Inhalt: |
ln this accIaimed three-part documentary, celebrated fiIm historians Kevin BrownIow and David GilI teIl the proud, sad story of D.W. Griffith : the man who first brought artistry and ambition to the movies, and then, having dragged a reluctant American film industry to international prominence, found it had no more use for him.
JudiciousIy chosen fiIm clips illustrate exactly how, within seven years of going to work for the Biograph Studios in 1908, Griffith painstakingly refined camera and acting techniques; how trial and error Ied him to create a grammar that was the cinema's own; and how, in 1915, he presented the fuIIy-fledged fiIm masterwork The Birth of a Nation.
Griffith strove to outdo himseIf in skilI, spectacle and soaring ambition, and Brownlow and Gill ilIuminate the successes that highlighted his career: Intolerance, Broken Blossoms, Way Down East and Orphans of the Storm. A wealth of background detaiI is provided by vivid accounts of Griffith at work , and by a comprehensive account of the great controversy sparked by The Birth of a Nation.
With its extensive historic details and dazzIing extracts from beautifully tinted prints, Brownlow and GilI's three-part documentary is the perfect reminder of just how great Griffith's achievements were. |
