Zusammenfassung:Best remembered today for his espionage serials "Les Vampires" and "Fantômas", Louis Feuillade had a more varied and profound influence upon French cinema than many of his followers realize. For more than a decade, he was the artistic director at Gaumont, encouraging the rise of such filmmakers as Abel Gance and Léonce Perret. This collection of films offers a wider view of Feuillade’s directorial efforts - but, admittedly, it is only a small portion of the nearly 800 films he is believed to have directed. These films run the gamut of ribald comedy (The Colonel’s Account), charming fantasy (Spring), tragedy (The Heart and Money), social commentary (The Defect) and historical epic (the remarkably poignant The Agony of Byzance). No Feuillade collection would be complete without a sampling of thrillers. To that end, we offer "The Trust: Or the Battles for Money" and "The Obsession", which are characterized by the brisk pacing and diabolical tone for which he would become famous. [Cover]
