La Roue (2-Disc Set) [DVD]
This revolutionary picture from 1923 inspired filmmakers as different as Jean Cocteau, G.W. Pabst, and Akira Kurosawa. LA ROUE centers on the love triangle with a father and son who love the same woman, but the element that adds even more depth to this silent film is that the woman is their adopted daughter and sister. Abel Gance (NAPOLEON) directs this film that features a new score from composer Robert Israel.

Lucrezia Borgia [DVD]
Abel Gance, master of large-scale historical epics, focuses on the murderous Italian clan of the Borgias in his renaissance saga LUCREZIA BORGIA. The three children of the corrupted Pope, Alexander VI (Roger Karl)--Cesar (Gabriel Gabrio), a power-hungry barbarian; Jean (Maurice Escande), a jaded, limp-wristed dandy; and the scheming, love-crazed Lucrezia (Edwige Feuillere)--treat 15th-century Rome as their personal debauched playground. When Niccolo Machiavelli (Aime Clariond) decides that savage Cesar is his ideal "prince," he begins to influence the Borgia clan to aid a murderous play for domination, his complex scheme depending heavily upon whom Lucrezia chooses to wed. Meanwhile, the Borgia's power begins to slip as the family's increasing outrages are matched by the citizenry?s rising disdain. A religious zealot, Savanarole (Antonin Artaud in a small but pivotal role), decries the Borgias' corruption and eventually leads a revolt against the Pope and his brood. The scandalous doings of the Borgias, replete with extravagant orgies, elaborate murders, poisonings, and rapes are compellingly detailed by Gance with his signature stylized editing and evocative cinematography. As in NAPOLEON and BEETHOVEN, Gance uses history as a springboard from which to construct elaborate cinematic visions of the rise and fall of charismatic leaders, doomed geniuses, and beautiful heroines.

Beethoven [DVD]
Much like his most celebrated film, NAPOLEON, cinema pioneer Abel Gance attempts to fashion a stormy, compelling myth of the life of legendary, deeply troubled composer Ludwig Van Beethoven. The life of the homely, lovelorn composer is seen through a series of devastating misfortunes: an obsessive aborted love, poverty, disregard for his music, and perhaps most tragically, oncoming deafness, all accompanied by Beethoven's lusty, lyrical music. Rejected by society and his "immortal beloved" Beethoven moves to an isolated mill where he battles his demons and composes masterpieces in a fury. Gance's signature fast-cut editing is taken to new heights as he treats Beethoven's music with the same experimental vision, underscoring all of the action and accentuation the effects of the editing with choice moments from various compositions. The world of 19th Century Vienna is compellingly evoked with its mixture of old world customs as well as its exciting and glamorous aura of the birth of new worlds of art and culture. The perennial outsider--destitute, heartbroken and deaf--Beethoven seems fated to be forgotten, but his love as well as his voluptuous music thrust him into immortality, as Gance details his final cinematic ecstasies and agonies.
