La nostra compagna (1936)

Desiderio del cuore

6° film muto di Dreyer, liberamente tratto dal romanzo Mikaël (1904) del danese Herman Bang, e il 2° girato in Germania dove fu chiamato dal produttore Erich Pommer (Decla-Biosco/UFA) che gli assegnò come cosceneggiatrice Thea von Harbou. Claude Zoret, anziano e famoso pittore, derubato, tradito e abbandonato da Michael, il suo giovane modello preferito che si è innamorato di una principessa russa, muore, lasciandogli in testamento tutti i suoi averi. Impregnato dei temi della paternità (che si confonde con l'omosessualità, centrale nel romanzo), dell'amore e della morte, il conflitto tra maestro e allievo avviene su due piani: l'arte e la vita. Sul primo vince Zoret, sconfitto dalla vita. La concezione tragica della vita di Dreyer ha qui una delle espressioni più compiute, accostabile a Gertrud, il suo capolavoro di congedo. Fotografia: Karl Freund (anche interprete come commerciante d'arte) e Rudolf Maté (esterni). Titolo danese Mikaël. Muto.

Terrorists in Retirement

Not just another documentary on the French resistance movement, this film focuses on one particular group of underground fighters in France: those from Eastern Europe. Many were Jews and all had fled their native countries before the war broke out. They were among the most staunch and fearless enemies of fascism, as shown here in personal interviews and memoirs of war-time experiences. But the most famous of these immigrants were 23 who were rounded up among several hundred Parisians in 1943, tried for their activities, and executed -- all were immigrants under the leadership of the Armenian poet Manouchian. After their execution, Paris was papered with posters decrying these 23 martyrs as "foreign communists."
