The Jockey of Death

1915 · 58 min
5.5 / 10 · TMDB

A little girl seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Fifteen years after, the true reason comes into light. Her cousin Henri makes up his mind and decides it is time for action. In order to help the girl escaping the vigilant gypsy home of 'Cirque Bartoli', both get caught and end up being chased by the gypsies. This hot pursuit - crossing sewage channels, roof tops, mountains and rivers - is an excellent piece of the girl's extraordinary acrobatic skills and Henri's bravura.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its drama from the clash between the oppressive circus world and the frantic energy of the chase. It relies on the visceral impact of its locations, each segment of the pursuit testing the characters' resolve and skill in new ways.

What lingers after the final reel is the sheer physical poetry of the escape, a testament to early cinema's belief in action as the purest form of storytelling. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Alfred Lind
