Marc Antony and Cleopatra

1913 · 74 min Drama History Romance
4.4 / 10 · TMDB

Based loosely on Shakespeare's play, Plutarch's "Life of Antony", and Pietro Cossa's dramatic poem, "Cleopatra", this movie was spectacular for its time. It offers location shots made in Italy and Egypt, large crowd scenes (e.g., the Roman army embarking in Alexandria), lots of emotional drama (Marc Antony & Cleopatra, his wife Octavia, sister of Antony's rival Octavian, unhistorically coming to Alexandria to beg him to return to her, and some mean, mean looks exchanged between Octavia and Cleopatra.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its epic narrative by relying on a blend of Shakespearean passion, Plutarch's history, and Cossa's dramatic poem. It explores obsession and political duty through grand location shooting and emotionally charged, silent-era performance stylistics.

What lingers after viewing is a sense of witnessing early cinema's ambition to become a spectacle, where massive crowd scenes were a marvel and every glance carried the weight of dialogue. — MovieFinder Editorial
