LATE MATHIAS PASCAL

SILENT MOVIE SUBTITLED

Flicker Alley is proud to present this Blu-ray edition of the Late Mathias Pascal, a film of great distinction and virtuoso style, adapted and directed by Marcel l'Herbier from a novel by Luigi Pirandello. The biggest French fantasy film of the 1920s, it is remarkably cast with some of the great actors of that era: Ivan Mosjoukine, (as Mathias Pascal), Michel Simon, Lois Moran, Pierre Batcheff and Marcelle Pradot. The film also boasts famous stylized sets designed by Alberto Cavalcanti and Lazare Meerson, seen here to best advantage in a stunning tinted and toned print restored by the CinTmatheque Frantaise, and accompanied by a beautiful large orchestra score composed and conducted by Timothy Brock.
