Vie de Moïse

FR 1905. PC: Pathé. Scène biblique en 6 tableaux, B. 1276. 170 m. Colour. Cin. Royale Belgique / Alan Roberts. ♪ Maud Nelissen. Wednesday 6 July 2005, Cinema Lumière 1, Il Cinema Ritrovato, Bologna. The six tableaux: Moïse sauvé des eaux. Le Buisson ardent. Passage de la Mer Rouge. Les Hebreux au désert. Sur le Mont Sinaï. L'Adoration du veau d'or. A fascinating naive, primitive Biblical film. The parting of the Red Sea is realized with paint and reflections. Blasphemously, God is made visible. Moses breaks the golden calf with the tablets of the Law. In the final image he sports long drawn gold horns.
