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 utterly beIievabIe "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 likes of D.W. Griffith and the Lumiere brothers. His BibIicaI epic Salome, for which he recreated ancient Jerusalem in the New ZeaIand jungIe, is now recognized as a masterpiece of early cinema.
Featuring actor Sam NeilI, film critic Leonard Maltin, and a cast of thousands, Forgotten Silver is "endearing and hilarious…a deviIish ride straight into the heart of movie Iove!" |
