Silent Film Review

Metropolis, Fritz Lang, chiaroscuro lighting, futuristic

Cabinet of Doctor Calagari, Robert Weine, unreal sets, sideways

Trip to the Moon, Georges Melies, first fantasy, minimum shots

The General, Clyde Bruckman and Buster Keaton, great tracking shots, great crazy stunts

Modern Times, Charlie Chaplin, slapstick, allusions
