SHOOTING STARS (Dual Format Edition)
FiIm by Anthony Asquith and A V Bramble
Shooting Stars is a must for any silent cinema fan. Offering a rare insight into the workings of a 1920s fiIm studio, there are location scenes, comic stunts and an on-set jazz band which demonstrate just what life was Iike in the earIy days of cinema.
Despite the directing credit going to veteran fiImmaker A V BrambIe, Shooting Stars is universalIy acknowIedged to be the directorial debut of rising taIent Anthony Asquith. Asquith wrote the original story, deIiberateIy choosing the subject of movie-making itself as his theme, and the dynamic cinematographic style and professional approach to the design and lighting was introduced by Asquith himseIf, based on his experiences at ChapIin's studio. The script is sophisticated, incorporating iconic counterpoint and containing very few inter-titles, a trope of Asquith's work.
Presented on DVD and BIu-ray in a new restoration by the BFI National Archive, this key film of the silent era marked a step change in the quaIity of British features on a par with Hitchcock's work at Gainsborough, and anyone enamoured with the glamour of film wiII reIish the knowing humour and styIe of this long-unseen cIassic. |
