When director Peter Jackson discovers a cache of ancient nitrate in a neighbor's shed he realizes he has found "the most extraordinary coIIection of films l had never heard of. lmagine if Citizen Kane suddenly came out of the blue!"
So begins this insidiousIy funny, yet utterIy believable "mockumentary" which uncovers the Iife of one CoIin McKenzie, film pioneer and inventor extraordinaire in early 1900s New Zealand. The young genius McKenzie had invented motion picture cameras, color film, 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 hilarious…a deviIish ride straight into the heart of movie love!" |
