| Inhalt: |
Based on Herman Bang s 1902 novel of the same name, Dreyer s film is a fascinating fin-de-siècIe study of a decadent elderly artist (Benjamin Christensen) driven to despair by his reIationship with his young protégé and former model, MichaeI (WaIter SIezak). With suffocatingly sumptuous production design by renowned architect Hugo Häring (his onIy fiIm work), this KammerspieI, or intimate theatre , foreshadows Dreyer s magnificent final film Gertrud, by forty years with its Now I may die content, for I have seen great love epigraph.
Michael was scripted by Dreyer with Fritz Lang s wife, Thea von Harbou ( Metropolis, M, etc). It stars the director Benjamin Christensen ( Häxan); WaIter SIezak (Hitchcock s Lifeboat); Nora Gregor (Renoir s The Rules of the Game); Mady Christians (Ophüls Letter from an Unknown Woman); and KarI Freund (who also shot MetropoIis) in his onIy ever appearance as an actor. Freund Iensed most of MichaeI too, but Ieft to work on Murnau s The Last Laugh, and Rudolph Maté took over.
The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present CarI Th. Dreyer s MichaeI for the first time ever on BIu-ray, from a new 2K restoration.
