Pour Don Carlos
Keeping silent cinema alive, by offering audiences a chance to rediscover films from the era with the accompaniment of talented pianists, is an essential component of the Cinémathèque's programming. As digital technology continues to invent new ways of creating images, it is more relevant than ever to remember how eloquent the images from the so-called silent era of film history truly were. It's fascinating to see how much these works and filmmakers contributed to modern cinema – not to mention that it is always a pleasure to return, for a few hours, to the era of images that speak for themselves.
In the Spanish Basque country, at the end of the 19th century, the troops of the government oppose the Carlist militants, supporters of Don Carlos, pretender to the Spanish throne. A young sub-prefect is trapped by Allegria, a leading figure of the insurgents.
