"La Terre"
1921
Directed by Andre Antoine
In this silent film
adaptation of Emile Zola's story of greed and deception among small landowners, Armand
Bour stars as Old Fouan, a farmer who is slowly robbed of his land, his farmhouse and his
money, by his own sons. Features excellent performances from Comedie Francaise actors and
cinematography described by Paul de la Borie as meticulously painterly, almost
Millet-like, in its realism. Silent with French titles.
97 minutes.
