Mad Love (3 Silent Films By Yevgeni Bauer) (BFI)

Three silent films from the pioneering Russian film-maker Yevgeni Bauer. Includes newly composed music and video essay on Bauer. Twilight of a Woman's Soul (1913), his first surviving film, already shows his masterful use of deep-focus photography. After Death (1915) is adapted from a story by Turgenev and is imbued with one of Bauer's favourite themes: the psychological hold of the dead over the living. The Dying Swan (1916) takes a sardonic view of the popular obsession with morbidity and includes a chilling dream sequence. His sense of cinematic space, his insight into the creative use of light and an audacity in the handling of the camera, set him far ahead of his contemporaries, influencing Eisenstein and Kuleshov amongst others.
