"Cabiria"
1914
Directed by Giovanni Pastrone
The most ambitious and
spectacular of the historical epics for which Italy was famous before World War I,
Cabiria
set the standard for big budget, feature-length movies and opened the way for Griffith
and DeMille. During the war between Carthage and Rome, a girl--Cabiria--is separated from
her parents. In her odyssey through the world of ancient Rome, she encounters an erupting
volcano, the barbaric splendor of Carthage, human sacrifice and Hannibal crossing the
Alps. Mastered from a 35mm archive print using variable speed projection to match the
original hand cranked camera, Cabiria features a newly recorded
soundtrack from the original 1914 score. 123 minutes. |
