Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Autour de la roue Synopsis
Widely regarded as one of the most innovative productions of the silent era, Abel Gance's LA ROUE is a film of mythic stature. Poet and novelist Blaise Cendrars shot this illuminating behind-the-scenes footage in the midst of the film's difficult location work. He captures the elaborate technical setups that went into producing LA ROUE's dynamic angles and fluid camera movements. Gance himself looks like he's having a ball clutching his script atop trains and snowy mountains. With the camera rolling, he directs his actors' movements as if he were dancing a ballet.
Down the Mississippi Synopsis
The simple story is about two siblings, little brother Bud and big sister Susie. After they've been reading "Huckleberry Finn" they dream of adventures on the Mississippi River.
"Autour de la roue" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Down the Mississippi" offers its own unique cult appeal.
