Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Princesse Mandane Synopsis
Brazen embrace of fashionable costume and glamour creates a witty celebration of Orientalism and cinema itself.
Antoinette Sabrier Synopsis
Adapted from a play by Romain Coolus, whose work Germaine Dulac had covered as a theater critic at the turn of the century, this atmospheric and socially inquisitive film tells the tale of an independent, sexually liberated woman who is torn between her husband and her lover. Controversial at the time of its release, Antoinette Sabrier finds Dulac using her bold sense of visual rhythm to achieve a complex portrait of a woman trapped in an unhappy marriage and a nuanced investigation into human intimacy, with her characters' emotions expressed through then-innovative cinematic techniques such as slow motion and associative montage.
"Antoinette Sabrier" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
