King Rene’s Daughter

1913 · 39 min Drama Romance
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

This elaborate and well-staged silent version of Hertz' play is exceedingly well produced for 1913: it starts off by introducing the actors by name and role, then showing them in double exposure in street clothes and in costumes. The production values are also elaborate and the look of the set designs reminds one of the elaborate backdrops that Melies used in his shots.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative around the poignant conflict between sheltered innocence and the overwhelming revelation of truth. It relies on elaborate, theatrical set design and the expressive physicality of its performers to convey a fairy-tale melodrama.

What lingers after the curtain falls is the charm of early cinematic storytelling, where visual tableaux and symbolic gestures speak volumes. It's a delicate, well-preserved artifact of its time. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Eugene Moore
