Paul Merton通过探访,希望揭秘被人们遗忘了的1914年前在法国和英国出现的无声电影世界。
Paul Merton制作的早期默片回顾史,主要还是集中在喜剧方面,可以算是Silent Clowns(http://movie.douban.com/subject/3648586/)的前传
Paul Merton goes in search of the origins of screen comedy in the...展开forgotten world of silent cinema - not in Hollywood, but in pre-1914 Britain and France. Revealing unknown stars and lost masterpieces, he brings to life the pioneering techniques and optical inventiveness of the virtuosos who mastered a new art form. With a playful eye and comic timing, he combines the role of presenter and director to recreate the strange world that is early European cinema in a series of cinematic experiments.
