This book is the first major study of a French silent cinema star.
It focuses on Pierre Batcheff, a prominent popular cinema star in
the 1920s, the French Valentino, best-known to modern audiences for
his role as the protagonist of the avant-garde film classic Un
chien andalou. Unlike other stars, he was linked to intellectual
circles, especially the Surrealists. The book places Batcheff in
the context of 1920s popular cinema, with specific reference to
male stars of the period. It analyses the tensions he exemplifies
between the 'popular' and the 'intellectual' during the 1920s, as
cinema - the subject of intense intellectual interest across Europe
- was racked between commercialism and 'art'. A number of the major
films are studied in detail: Le Double amour (Epstein, 1925), Feu
Mathias Pascal (L'Herbier, 1925), Education de prince
(Diamant-Berger, 1927), Le Joueur d'echecs (Bernard, 1927), La
Sirene des tropiques (Etievant and Nalpas, 1927), Les Deux timides
(Clair, 1928), Un chien andalou (Bunuel, 1929), Monte-Cristo
(Fescourt, 1929), and Baroud (Ingram, 1932). Key features: *The
first major study of a French silent cinema star. *Provides an
in-depth analysis of star performance. *Includes extensive
appendices of documents from popular cinema magazines of the
period.
