Le lion des Mogols (The Lion of the Mogols)
Jean Epstein, DVD, 106 min
France, 1924 (Silent)
In the 1920s, Prince Roundghito-Sing escapes his Hindu kingdom and joins a film crew during Paris’ années folles where he becomes a film star. A century ago, Jean Epstein was playing with form and rhythm in this inventive mise en abyme of the art of cinema.
With live piano accompaniment by Renato Umali.
