Zusammenfassung:"Fantômas", the mysterious arch-criminal who holds Paris in the grip of terror, was first brought to the screen in this legend- ary serial by celebrated French cinema pioneer Louis Feuillade. The creation of authors Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre, Fantômas perpetrated the most appalling crimes in 32 hugely popular pulp novels and became a cult favourite of the avant-garde, including the painters René Magritte and Salvador Dali. Feuillade’s serial was one of cinema’s earliest and most strikingly original crime dramas, starring René Navarre as "Fantômas", the master of disguise and leader of a vast army of street thugs, and Edmond Bréon as his nemesis, Inspector Juve. Beautifully restored by Gaumont and the Cinematheque Française, the five episodes of Fantô- mas are among the most fascinating and enthralling silent films ever made. [Cover]
