In Reply to: Nice recommendation; one of several bonafide classics from Von Sternberg's early years. posted by Audiophilander on October 1, 2010 at 00:10:47:
After watching "The Last Command" I watched the documentary (called a "visual essay") on the same disc, and thought it was informative about JVS, his mentors and influences. It broke down the way he designed his shots, and guided (and bullied) his actors, shot by shot, and revealed that this guy was a master. I also felt a little differently about Brent and Compson. Beautiful actresses, no doubt, but seeing their acting analyzed was educational for me. A blu-ray would be a treat. I would have bought it instead of the dvd set, no doubt. Did I mention that I liked the film, too? LIked it a lot. Do some of you forget how powerful silent films are? I do.
