• L'Argent | DVD | (24/11/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £22.99

  Adapted from ''‰mile Zola's novel of the same name Marcel L'Herbier's L'Argent [Money] is an opulent classic of late-silent era cinema. Filmed in part on location at the Paris stock exchange it reveals a world of intrigue greed decadence and ultimately corruption and scandal when business dealings and amorous deceit combine. Business tycoons Saccard and Gunderman lock horns when the former attempts to raise capital for his faltering bank. To inflate the price of his stock Saccard concocts a duplicitous publicity stunt involving the unwitting aviator Hamelin and a flight across the Atlantic to drill for oil much to the dismay of his wife Line. While Hamelin is away the lascivious Saccard attempts to seduce Line whose own temptation by the allure of money puts herself and her husband in danger - pawns in a high-stakes chess game played out by unscrupulous speculators. With an all-star cast (Brigitte Helm and Alfred Abel fresh from Fritz Lang's Metropolis alongside Pierre Alcover Yvette Guilbert and luminary of the French avantgarde Antonin Artaud) and a mammoth budget L'Argent is comparable in period and scale with other celebrated epics of the silent era such as Abel Gance's Napol''on. With its use of portable cameras that literally descend into the Bourse and revolve around its lavish contours L'Argent represents a type of cinematic Impressionism distinctive to the silent art - a poetry that would change forever with the coming of sound.

• Faust | DVD | (21/01/2002) from £27.99   |  Saving you £-8.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Shot in the UFA studios with a big movie star in the lead and all the special effects and production design resources any blockbuster of its time could wish for, FW Murnau's 1926 Faust represents a step up from his better-known Nosferatu. Oddly, Faust is a less familiar film than the vampire quickie and this release affords fans a chance to see what Murnau can do with an equally major fantasy story. Adapted neither from Marlowe's play Dr Faustus nor Goethe's verse drama, the script scrambles various elements of the legend and presents a Faust (Gosta Ekman) driven to summon the Devil by despair as a plague rages through the town, desperate to gain enough learning to help his neighbours. When this deal doesn't quite work out, because he is stoned by townsfolk who notice his sudden fear of the cross, Mephisto (Emil Jannings) offers Faust instead renewed youth and an opportunity to seduce a famously beautiful Italian noblewoman and then to return to his home village and get involved with the pure Gretchen (Camilla Horn). Like most versions of the story, it's episodic and some sections are stronger than others: the great stuff comes in the plague and initial deal sequences, though it picks up again for the tragic climax as Gretchen becomes the central figure and suffers horribly, freezing in the snows and burning at the stake. Jannings' devil, a gruesomely humorous slice of ham, is one of the great silent monster performances, reducing everyone else to a stick figure, and Murnau faces the challenge of topping his Nosferatu imagery by deploying a battalion of effects techniques to depict the many magical journeys, sudden appearances and transformations. On the DVD: Often seen in ragged, incomplete prints projected at the wrong speed, this is a decently restored version, running a full 115 minutes with a complete orchestral score. The original materials show some of the damage to be expected in a film of its vintage, but the transfer is excellent, displaying the imaginative art direction and camerawork to superb advantage. Aside from a nicely eerie menu, the sole extra is a full-length commentary originating in Australia: written by historian Peter Spooner but read by narrator Russell Cawthorne (who mispronounces the odd name). This provides an interesting wealth of background detail, such as Murnau's attempt to cast Hollywood's Lillian Gish as Gretchen, and delivers a balanced assessment of the film itself. --Kim Newman

  Christmas Night. A little boy sits alone by a small feeble Christmas tree from the branches of which sadly hang garlands salvaged from Christmases past. His mother is dead. Suddenly in a dream or by magic she is there next to him and places a small gift at the foot of the tree. The enchanted night begins: the gift grows bigger and becomes a miraculous icon fiends flood in the mother appears alive followed by two Angels of Light created by Marius-Mephisto. The whole room is dancing and the child begins to laugh. Is it a dream? Reality is that which we feel to be real. Reality is the moment here and now. Freed from his fear the boy watches the Pas de Deux from The Nutcracker directed by Marius his master and danced by the Prince and Princess. ''I remember! Christmas.. .. Marseille the tree the Nativity scene the presents the thirteen desserts -among them my favourite -the NUTS! Above all I loved cracking nuts. My father had shown me that the insides were like a little human brain. I remember.. . My mother. I was seven years old. One evening she said to me 'your mother is going on a long journey. Promise me you will be good. I remember. Christmas.'' '' So wrote Maurice B''jart in his programme notes for his version of the well-loved Christmas ballet The Nutcracker (Casse-Noisette). B''jart''s magical staging transforms the piece into an enchanting and enchanted autobiography and a loving homage to the choreographer''s mother and to his creative hero Marius Petipa. The first part of the performance is punctuated by B''jart on a huge video screen telling something of his childhood. Summing up his approach to creating this ballet B''jart remarked ''You live a life and you dream a life. When you come to write your own life you tell a lie to build the truth.'' Using Tchaikovsky's score in its entirety augmented with popular waltz and accordion music performed on-stage by the legendary Yvette Homer B''jart takes the original St Petersburg story as a springboard from which to evoke the memories emotions and feelings of his own life''s journey: from a Marseille childhood dominated by the memory of his mother to the passionate commitment to dance inspired by the father of classical ballet Petipa. The stage is flooded with allusions to B''jart''s actual and imaginary history: characters both real and symbolic forests scouting bull-fighting bicycles old songs and much more create a universe of feeling reaching its apotheosis in a faithful recreation of the original Pas de Deux -a true declaration of love. The only character in his Nutcracker that relates to the original is Mephisto who replaces Drosselmeyer as the facilitator of fantastical dreams and happenings. Goethe''s Faust fascinated B''jart when he was still very young and the choreographer''s Mephisto is at the same time his creative hero Marius Petipa. Marius-Mephisto opens up a world to the boy Bim (B''jart) in which his dream life and his desire to dance are intertwined. Three performances of B''jart''s Nutcracker were recorded live fiom the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris for the purposes of this television presentation. The showman of modem dance Maurice B''jart''s work has been provocative influential and popular in equal measure. His choreography has always been physically thrilling setting up an immediate emotional combustion between audience and performer and he attracted huge new audiences for dance with the Ballet of the Twentieth Century productions he mounted in sports stadia public squares and circus tents. Since founding the B''jart Ballet Lausanne in 1987 he has been working on a more intimate scale but his style has remained just as electric vivid and direct in its appeal as ever.
