Films by Jean Epstein. Experimental use of close-ups, slow-motion (as a way to better explore "present time"). Must watch films:
- Faithful Heart / Cœur fidèle
- The Fall of the House of Usher / La chute de la maison Usher
Early dramas by Ernst Lubitsch. Very distinct and sophisticated style, ahead of its time. You may start with any film starring proto-femme-fatale actress Pola Negri:
- Madame DuBarry / Passion
- Carmen / Gipsy Blood
- Die Flamme / The Flame
