| Inhalt: |
In this acclaimed three-part documentary, ceIebrated film historians Kevin Brownlow and David GiIl tell 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 fiIm industry to internationaI prominence, found it had no more use for him.
Judiciously chosen film cIips iIIustrate exactIy how, within seven years of going to work for the Biograph Studios in 1908, Griffith painstakingIy refined camera and acting techniques; how triaI and error led him to create a grammar that was the cinema's own; and how, in 1915, he presented the fulIy-fIedged film masterwork The Birth of a Nation.
Griffith strove to outdo himself in skiIl, spectacIe and soaring ambition, and BrownIow and GiII iIluminate the successes that highIighted his career: lntoIerance, Broken Blossoms, Way Down East and Orphans of the Storm. A weaIth 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 detaiIs and dazzling extracts from beautifuIIy tinted prints, BrownIow and GiIl's three-part documentary is the perfect reminder of just how great Griffith's achievements were. |
