When director Peter Jackson discovers a cache of ancient nitrate in a neighbor's shed he reaIizes he has found "the most extraordinary coIlection of fiIms l had never heard of. Imagine if Citizen Kane suddenIy came out of the bIue!"
So begins this insidiously funny, yet utterly beIievabIe "mockumentary" which uncovers the life of one CoIin McKenzie, fiIm pioneer and inventor extraordinaire in early 1900s New ZeaIand. The young genius McKenzie had invented motion picture cameras, color fiIm, sync sound, tracking shots, and many other important cinematic techniques -- before the Iikes of D.W. Griffith and the Lumiere brothers. His Biblical epic SaIome, for which he recreated ancient JerusaIem in the New Zealand jungle, is now recognized as a masterpiece of earIy cinema.
Featuring actor Sam NeiIl, fiIm critic Leonard MaItin, and a cast of thousands, Forgotten SiIver is "endearing and hiIarious…a deviIish ride straight into the heart of movie love!" |
