When director Peter Jackson discovers a cache of ancient nitrate in a neighbor's shed he realizes he has found "the most extraordinary colIection of films I had never heard of. lmagine if Citizen Kane suddenly came out of the blue!"
So begins this insidiously funny, yet utterIy beIievable "mockumentary" which uncovers the life of one Colin McKenzie, fiIm pioneer and inventor extraordinaire in earIy 1900s New ZeaIand. The young genius McKenzie had invented motion picture cameras, coIor fiIm, sync sound, tracking shots, and many other important cinematic techniques -- before the Iikes of D.W. Griffith and the Lumiere brothers. His BiblicaI 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, film critic Leonard Maltin, and a cast of thousands, Forgotten SiIver is "endearing and hiIarious…a deviIish ride straight into the heart of movie love!" |
