宫中残酷史

导(🖍)演：(🈁)卢(lú )觉非 For his third film in France, L'Enfant du Carnaval (1921), Mozhukhin directed himself. This is a delightful work, hinting at the astonishing visual vocabulary Mozhukhin would employ in his next directorial effort, Le brasier ardent (1923). Full of visual witticisms that include amusing match cuts and a terrific use of scenography, it can be argued that the choice of subject matter (wealthy bachelor finds a child on his doorstep and hires the child's real mother as nanny) has more than an old-fashioned air about it, but he manages to keep it fresh and sparkling until the tragic conclusion. There are some stylistic similarities between L'Enfant du Carnaval and an Italian film from 1917 which screened at last year's Festival, Luigi Serventi's Le Mogli e le arance (Wives and Oranges), written and supervised by Lucio D'Ambra, although this may be pure coincidence. Boys blow peas at the cobbler, who throws a boot and hits a woman. Vladimir’s dealings are rather obscure, he is in constant need of money. Après avoir fait fortune en Extrême-Orient, l'armateur Forest a ouvert une banque à(🏒) Marseille. Il est le tuteur de l'orpheline Madeleine Wills, dont il convoite le coeur.

Tchang Keou est en réalité à la recherche de l'homme qui, armé d'une épingle rouge, a assassiné(✌) son père parce qu'il avait été témoin du meurtre du père de Madeleine par Forest. Ses soupçons se portent d'abord sur Valmont puis il comprend la vé(💕)rité. Forest se sert du Chinois pour enlever Madeleine. Prévenu, Paul Valmont vient à son secours.
