If you love silents, check out http://www.drplonk.com/ for information on a new silent film coming from Australia. I haven't actually seen the film, but the trailer looks promising. (It took me a couple of tries to get the trailer to load, but keep trying. It's worth it.) The director did a nice job of capturing the feel of the comedies of the silent period without being campy or ironic. Babe fans will also recognize Farmer Hoggett's wife in the cast. I imagine it is unlikely that this flick will get an American release, but let's keep our fingers crossed for a Region 1 DVD. |
