L’inhumaine (The Inhuman Woman)
Marcel L’Herbier, H264 (4K Digital Restoration), 122 min
France, 1924 (Silent)
Making cinema history, L’Herbier’s experimental science fiction melodrama is a visual tour de force. Produced to showcase France’s artistry at the 1925 Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs, L’inhumaine stars a diva femme fatale, known for her lack of humanity, whose favors are sought by an international cast of suitors.
With live piano accompaniment by Renato Umali.
