Chelovek s kino-apparatom (Man With a Movie Camera) a.k.a. "Um Homem com uma Câmera" (1929, Dir. by Dziga Vertov) VIDEO (ISO)
Two versions of Dziga Vertov's fascinating montage of life in Moscow are included on this tape. The first is the original silent version, with music by the Alloy Orchestra. The second version includes a commentary by Yuri Tsivian, Russian silent cinema historian. Vertov makes innovative early use of dissolves, split screen, slow motion and freeze frames in this fascinating document of life in Twenties Russia. amazon
Synopsis :
Soviet director Dziga Vertov's experimental film grew out
of his belief, shared by his editor, Elizaveta Svilova (who was also
his wife), and his cinematographer, Mikhail Kaufman (also his brother),
that the true goal of cinema should be to present life as it is lived.
To that end, the filmmakers offer a day-in-the-life portrait of a city
from dawn until dusk, though they actually shot their footage in several
cities, including Moscow, Kiev, and Odessa. After an opening statement,
there are no words in the film (neither voice-over nor titles), just
dazzling imagery, kinetically edited - as a celebration of the modern
city with a marked emphasis on its buildings and machinery. The Image
Entertainment DVD edition of the film offers a musical score composed
from notes left by the director, which adds greatly to the impact of the
film. Tom Wiener

CHARLIE BYRD · HERB ELLIS · TAL FARLOW : Great Guitars of Jazz In Concert (2002) VIDEO (ISO)
Herb Ellis, Tal Farlow and Charlie Byrd exemplify the breadth of American jazz. These elder statesmen of the instrument have well over a century of combined knowledge and experience, and their styles cover a vast spectrum of the music, from straight-ahead swing, to be-bop, to bossa nova and beyond. Herb Ellis established an impeccable standard for swinging, mainstream jazz guitar through his extensive work in concert and on record with numerous great jazz instrumentalists including Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Harry Edison and singer Ella Fitzgerald. Tal Farlow's nimble and innovative playing with the Red Norvo Trio is considered pure genius, and few guitarists have matched his unusual dexterity and sense of harmony. Charlie Byrd pioneered the use of the classical guitar in jazz and introduced America to the beauty of Brazilian bossa nova. Billed as the Great Guitars, the playing of this remarkable group is a short course in the history of jazz guitar.
Charlie Byrd is recognized as a music giant throughout the world. The role of the guitar bridging classical and popular music forms is a matter of history, but the emergence of a guitarist equally at ease in both classical and jazz idioms is an event of singular exception. Born in Chuckatuck, Virginia on September 16, 1925, Byrd learned the basic of guitar from his father and began to perform regularly with local bands. While in Paris during the war, he had occasion to meet and hear the great gypsy guitarist Django Reingardt, one of the founding fathers of the very concept of jazz guitar. That encounter served as the inspiration for Byrd's decision to enroll in the Harnett National Music School in New York to study jazz composition and theory. By the late 1940's, Charlie Byrd had become an established figure in the East Coast jazz scene, but he felt the need for a new direction. He decided to pursue a career as a concert guitarist. In 1950, Byrd moved to the Washington, DC area to begin the study of classical guitar with Thomas Simmons and Sophocles Papas, and subsequently traveled to Italy as the pupil of Andres Segovia. While he did not consciously synthesize his jazz and classical training into a new form of music, the subtleties of both began to have their inevitable effects, with the result that Byrd reached new performance levels and created a new sound-- jazz played on an acoustic (classical) guitar without using a pick or electronics. After a tour of South America sponsored by the United States Department of State, his interest in Latin music intensified. The next year, 1962, along with Stan Getz, Byrd recorded Jazz Samba and, according to Leonard Feather, "the entire bossa nova craze in the United States may be said to have spring directly from this album." Amazon
The tread that binds these radically different players is their debt to Charlie Christian, the first electric jazz guitarist who inspired their lifelong dedication to musical excellence. Billed s the Great Guitas, the playing of this remarkable group is a short course in the history of jazz guitar.

Vampyr | a.k.a. "O Vampiro" (1932, Dir by C.T. Dreyer) VIDEO (ISO)
Synopsis :
Vampyr ranks in many circles as one of the greatest horror
films of all time. Inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, the story
concerns a mysterious series of killings, committed by a crone of a
female vampire (Henriette Gerard). The story is told through the eyes of
a holiday reveller (Julian West), who at first scoffs at the notion of a
supernatural murderer, but who is eventually forced to believe that
there are more things in heaven and earth. Dreyer offers few
explanations of the phenomena he presents on screen: the strange and
frightening happenings just happen, as casually as any everyday
occurrence. As was his custom, Dreyer mostly uses nonprofessionals in
his cast. Vampyr is available in a wide variety of severely edited and
duped versions. Hal Erickson

Tabu: A Story of the South Seas | a.k.a. 'Tabu' (1931, Dir. by F.W. Murnau | VIDEO (ISO)
Synopsis :
Tabu is a lyrical documentary of Polynesian life, given
added audience appeal with a fictional plotline. The story concerns a
young island girl (Anna Chevalier, who like everyone in the cast is a
non-professional) who has been consecrated to the gods by her
tribespeople. It is thus "tabu" for her to marry; still, she falls in
love with a handsome young pearl fisherman (Matahi). The island's holy
man takes the girl away in his schooner. Her lover swims after her, but
eventually sinks disconsolately into the ocean. Shot completely on
location, it was supposed to be a collaboration between German director
F. W. Murnau and American documentary producer Robert Flaherty. Flaherty
withdrew from the project when he realized the film was taking a
romanticized approach. Murnau never lived to see the final product; he
was killed in a car accident just before the film's opening. Begun as a
silent film in 1929, Tabu was released in that form in 1931, despite the
fact that talking pictures already had been established for nearly
three years. Hal Erickson

Tartuffe (Her Tartüff) a.k.a. "Tartufo" (1925, Dir. by F.W. Murnau) VIDEO (ISO)
Synopsis :
How typical of the great German director F. W. Murnau that
he used Moliere's scathing satirical comedy Tartuffe as a launching pad
for an extended exercise in expressionism. Emil Jannings plays the
title character, a religious hypocrite who capitalizes upon the piety of
others to line his own pockets. Lusting after Elmire (Lil Dagover), the
daughter of gullible millionaire Orgon (Werner Krauss), Tartuffe all
but convinces Orgon to hand over Elmire -- and all his land holdings --
on a silver platter in exchange for Divine absolution. On the verge of
triumphantly taking over Orgon's mansion and tossing the old man out,
Tartuffe is foiled by the deux ex machina arrival of an emissary of the
King, who arrests the "hero" for his chicanery (this final scene was
imposed upon Moliere by the French censors; originally, Tartuffe got
away with his crimes). In his efforts to make the property more
cinematic, Murnau adds a framing story concerning an old woman who tries
to cheat an old man out of a fortune while the two of them watch a
theatrical performance of the Moliere play. Chock full of offbeat camera
angles, forced-perspective sets, and spiderlike shadows, Tartuff owes
more to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari than it does to Moliere. Emil
Jannings went on to collaborate with Murnau in the director's next
production, a lavish adaptation of Goethe's Faust. Hal Erickson

The film stars Charles Boyer as Liliom, a carousel barker who is fired from his job after defending the chambermaid Julie from the jealousy of Mme. Muscat, the carousel owner who is infatuated with Liliom. He moves in with Julie and they begin an affair. When Liliom discovers he's about to become a father, he finds he needs money and participates in a robbery which goes awry. Rather than allow himself to be arrested, Liliom kills himself and his soul is transported to a waiting room of Heaven. A heavenly commissioner determines that Liliom will not be admitted into Heaven, only Purgatory, until he returns to Earth to do one good deed. wiki
The Cat and the Canary | a.k.a. "O Gato e o Canário" (1927, Dir. by Paul Leni) VIDEO (ISO)
Synopsis :
Frank Willard's barn-storming stage melodrama Cat and the
Canary was filmed four times over a fifty-year period. This silent 1927
version stars Laura LaPlante as one of several potential heirs to a huge
fortune. Brought to a foreboding mansion on the 20th anniversary of
their eccentric benefactor's death, the heirs must sit in silence as the
lawyer (Tully Marshall) recites the terms of the will. The legacy
hinges upon three sealed letters, each to be opened at a strategic point
in the evening. Also crucial to the inheritance is the insistence that
all the heirs spend the night in the creepy old mansion. Nervous
Creighton Hale appoints himself LaPlante's protector--a far from simple
job, given the many hidden panels and revolving doors which festoon the
house. When the lawyer is murdered, LaPlante is the principle suspect.
Cat and the Canary was remade as The Cat Creeps in 1930, and under its
own title in 1939 (with Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard) and 1979. Hal Erickson

Destiny is a 1921 silent German Expressionist fantasy romance film directed by Fritz Lang and inspired by the Indian folktale of Savitri. The film follows a woman desperate to reunite with her dead lover. It also follows three other tragic romances, set in a Middle Eastern city; in Venice, Italy; and in the Chinese Empire. wiki
Title : Destiny (1921)
Original title : Der Müde Tod
Directed : Fritz Lang
Duration : 1 h 48 min
Subtitles : English, Portuguese, Spanish
Genre : Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Science Fiction
Country : Germany
Synopsis :
Fritz Lang was a stickler for realism in his American films; not so his German silents, which were fanciful to the point of being fairy tales. Der Müde Tod, Lang's first big critical success, is an allegorical tale of love, fidelity and death. The heroine (Lil Dagover), who in her dreams is confronted by Mr. Death, argues for the life of her beloved, but is unable to make the personal sacrifices that Death insists upon. Originally presented in three parts, Der Müde Tod was often boiled down to a single film for its non-German showings. Its English-language titles range from The Weary Death to Between Two Worlds to Beyond the Wall to Destiny. Hal Erickson
The Man Who Laughs | a.k.a. 'O Homem que Ri' (1927, Dir. by Paul Leni) VIDEO (ISO)
Synopsis :
Released with sound effects and a music score that
included the song "When Love Comes Smiling" by Walter Hirsch, Lew
Pollack and Erno Rapee, Paul Leni's near masterpiece remains one of the
silent era's last great romantic melodramas. Based on Victor Hugo's 1869
novel L'Homme qui Rit, The Man Who Laughs starred German import Conrad
Veidt as Gwynplaine, a carnival freak doomed to live life wearing a
perpetual grin carved on his face by Dr Hardquannone (George Siegman
because his father, Lord Clancharlie (Allan Cavan), had offended
England's King James II (Sam De Grasse). Taken in as a child by Ursus, a
mountebank (Cesare Gravina), Gwynplaine grows up alongside the
beautiful but blind Dea (Mary Philbin). They fall in love but Gwynplaine
refuses to marry her because his hideous face makes him feel unworthy.
Queen Anne (Josephine Crowell), meanwhile, has ascended the throne and
when she learns from her predecessor's evil jester Barkilphedro (Brandon
Hurst) that the recalcitrant Duchess Josiana (Olga Baclanova) is in
possession of Lord Clancharlie's estates, she decrees that the royal
femme fatale must marry Gwynplaine, the rightful heir. Josiana, who has
caught Gwynplaine's act incognito and arranged a rendezvous, is at the
same time sexually attracted to and repelled by the "Laughing Man," but
Gwynplaine, who realizes that the duchess' attraction has legitimized
his right to love Dea, renounces his title and follows his heart to the
new World. Although Kirk Douglas was long interested in producing a
remake, The Man Who Laughs was instead filmed again as L'Uomo che Ride
by Italian director Sergio Corbucci in 1966. Corbucci, however, changed
the setting from Queen Anne to the infamous sixteenth century Italian
court of the Borgias. Hans J. Wollstein
