The player will show in this paragraph L'invitation au voyage 1927
Silent film pioneer Germaine Dulac adapted her 1927 feature L'Invitation au voyage from the poem of the same title by late-19th century French belletrist Charles Baudelaire. The film represents an attempt by Dulac to create a work entirely liberated from cinematic narrative per se. It is a "visual symphony," comprised of rhythmically intercut images that embody projections of the artist's raw and direct feelings, unadulterated by the contrivances of story. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide UbuWeb Film | UbuWeb PennSound | CENTRO | EPC | WFMU |
