Episode • Feb 19, 2021 • 1h 47m

Well now DW Griffith is beginning to "show his power level" as modern day people of his ilk call it, beginning his fascination with the Civil War. We also have some startlingly mature camera work in the Max Linder films and confident, emotionally complex, and deep storytelling in the Danish debut of Asta Nielsen, The Abyss! (unrelated to James Cameron).
