Superb

I can but echo the opinion of the previous reviewer and say this is a stunning film. The acting is generally very naturalistic and, like many silent films (despite a common perception to the opposite) not bogged down by histrionic overacting. This is a sophisticated and elegant film made on a grand scale and should be of interest to film fans, particularly those of the silent era. Highly recommended.

One of the great silent classics

L'Argent is one of the little known silent masterpieces that have been rediscovered in recent years. The film is distinguished for many reasons. The acting is magnificent led by Pierre Alcover and Birgitte Helm (of Metropolis fame). The costuming and staging are fantastic, in fact the film makers made use of the Paris Bourse for several scenes. Most wonderful is the camera work, which although adanced for the day, even experimental, is completely natural to the story. L'Argent was at the time the most expensive French film to date, designed to compete with both Hollywood and UFA of Germany. David Shepard has written enthusiatically of the French edition of the DVD. A must buy for film buffs and silent film buffs of all kinds.
