    Doors closing and opening

    Beautifully remastered, this film captures the essence of 1920s London, from the buses to the bilboards and ancient river arches. At times slow, this is a film ... read more »

    Surprisingly fluid and good entertainment

    With the exception of early Hitchcock films, anyone who has had to sit through British silent films will be acquainted with the meaning of the word purgatory. ... read more »

    All that silent jazz

    I've always been a fan of silent film, but I hadn't really come across many British examples before. Whether this is really very British with a German ... read more »

    You don't know how to conduct yourself in front of a lady.

    A significant and provocative British silent film which explores the racial and sexual politics of its day. Chinese-American actress Anna Mae Wong left ... read more »

    This film really surprised me. I never realised that the British film industry of the late twenties could make such a dark and sensual thriller. The settings ... read more »
