“"AN EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES THAT DOUBLES AS A CRASH COURSE IN THE EVOLUTION OF FILM LANGUAGE" - Dennis Lim, LOS ANGELES TIMES”
A 3 Part Collection of More Than 75 Early Films by Alice Guy, Louis Feuillade and Léonce Perret. The invention of cinema—and its growth into a sophisticated art form—are vividly brought to life in this massive collection of films from the early years of the influential Gaumont Film Company. Each disc is devoted to one of Gaumont’s artistic directors, who oversaw all film production at the studio, and profoundly influenced not only the identity of the studio but also the evolution of the cinema itself.
