History of Cinema | Classification: Classics (Silents/Avant Garde) Actors/Actresses: - D.W. Griffith Quality? For anyone who bought the DVD, I was wondering about the picture quality. Also, are there any extras? Thanks. A Must-Have!!! This is one of the best compilations of early cinema to date, and on DVD at that! I don't know how much you would care about the free posters, as they are repros, I'm not that big of a fan, but it is a nice bonus. These are the films that defined cinema as it stands today. These are the films that began a long and wonderful history of entertainment. Everything from Eisenstein's montage theory ("Battleship Potempkin") to the shocking stark realities from D.W. Griffith ("Birth of a Nation") even to Weimar Cinema and culture (Fritz Lang's "Metropolis") and film noir ("Nosferatu"). These are the classics, the forefathers, the basis from which current techniques, themes, styles, and shots are drawn. What you have in this 12 DVD set is a slice of history, of the birth of cinema. If you consider yourself a film fan, or if you enjoy a wide variety of classic movies, this truly is a must-own set. You simply cannot understand modern cinema without first viewing these classics. Enjoy! 8 Amazon recommends this to me, but there is no information at all about the contents of this package, except that it apparently contains something by D.W. Griffith. Are there films by other directors as well? Weird. Buy History Of Cinema at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
