Reviews for Cabiria
The mechanical effects are thrilling and excellent, and the photo drama is one of the most effective ever shown here.
This stunning silent epic was a huge influence on D.W Griffiths when he came to make Intolerance, and matches that film for scope, vision and spectacle.
Giovanni Pastrone's 1914 film is one of several early Italian epics that significantly influenced the form and flow of the feature film, then in its developmental infancy.
