Gallery of Monsters (La Galerie des Monstres) (1924)
Directed by: Jaque Catelain and Marcel L'Herbier
With Jaque Catelain, Michel Simon and Kiki of Montparnasse
Married carnival performers are subjected to the abuses of their employer in this silent film gem that has not received as much attention as it deserves. When the boss' unwanted advances on the wife are refused, he taunts a lion until it nearly kills her. But the other performers assist in a unique plot for revenge. Jaque Catelain directs and stars in this film made for influential French director Marcel L'Herbier's production company. Some sources also list L'Herbier as co-director, as he is credited here. The film boasts some rapid-fire editing techniques that were decades ahead of its time. Silent with sound effects and music track
