日本には「源氏物語」のように「もののあはれ」という概念があり­ます。

この動画にはそれを感じます。

[totheworld2010]

[zoubirT]

one of the most important message of the universe for peace and love is there in front of our eyes " partager" "sharing" it will make everyone friends and will create peace and love for all of us. we all live on the same planet and we are so far away from each other at the same time why? im sending love and peace for every living identity.

You usually see very melodramatic acting in silent cinema but this is so beautifully understated. Truly excellent performances from both actors - thanks for posting.

[akf2000]

what is that, some sort of pepperami?

[momogompo]

@akf2000

It's called Saucisson.

[pirrung123]

Very cool :o) :o(

[magiccasements]

Someone else has this scene on YT but your presentation is much better and evocative. Especially your music. Great job!

@versoilnord Thank you.

[nicosologne]

Musique : "Aria" (saxophone alto et piano) d'Eugène Bozza, compositeur français.

[71290myriam]

So beautiful and so sad, even the way she moves her hands is full of emotion ... I showed this vid to my kids, they've been extremly impressed.

Thanks for this.

[GoldenSilents]

@71290myriam Thanks. What you can't see is that she is holding her baby.

[ljubisacisko]

[auroraescales]

[wheeze29]

[NiteStarGirl]

This really touched my heart. How sad and beautiful at the same time.

[npablito]

@7papaverirossi ...tu che ti indugi negli albori del cinema, nei padri di Zavattini e De Sica,Godard e Truffault...in eroi disperati cui pietas non e' mai troppa...non eri ancora nata ...non importa..eri li in quei luoghi...tra freddi infiniti e respiri rubati...tra enormi baffi che odorano ..di seta!(oddio!)...tu sei quella...la ballerina che oggi corre danzando tra i fili di questo "coso"...buonanotte pap

[7papaverirossi]

@npablito .è vero non ero ancora, nata,,ma ho sempre adora il Cinema, il Teatro, come sempre, si attribuisci, parti o sopranomi, che mi divertono e Ti ringrazio.

Questo "coso "come tutti i mezzi ha limiti e no.

Limiti, perchè non è diretto, e se uno c'è elasticità mentale è difficile capirsi subito e bene.

No, perchè come in questo caso se trovi qualcosa di bello, almeno per te, puoi offrirlo, e far riflettere...e pensare a quello che è accaduto ieri a Roma.

Grazie ,uomo della notte

[7papaverirossi]

@npablito rileggendo la risposta mi sono accorta di due errori.. correggi intanto che leggi per cortesia...

It is a masterpiece of film art.

Moving to a pain.

[broadcastyogi]

super

[recorderson]

I love this video ! and the music, too. thanks for posting !

[HessSchmidt]

For those asking, the music is "Aria", by French composer Eugène Bozza. Transposed later for clarinet, it was originally written for alto saxophone in 1936 for renowned French saxophonist Marcel Mule.

[delanoRooz]

Superb acting!!!

And to think this was made in 1926!

[happygrlcamper]

her face and facial expressions remind me of marion cotillard

[carlotta306]

lovely,beautiful thanks

[UAE81]

I like the music

[vinceman]

terrific. thanks for sharing! 

[dearmalika]

Que bello, esta actriz me hace llorar!

[makingslides]

melkitcedek2 and the video Lovely Silent Film Actresses is somthing to see, I don't talk about someone else video but this is the exception.

[GoldenSilents]

@vladbary1970 I know there were organizations in Europe in the 20's risking their lives to get actors and other artists out of the newly communist Russia. Often they were Russians who had escaped first getting involved, like the lead actor in Murnau's The Burning Soil (1922).

As always with communism there is a static quality to the films they produce because everything has to be approved by the State. You see a big difference in the silents that were made in Russia pre-Revolution.

[Gudmundur]

@GoldenSilents I'm not sure I understand your comment, so I probably misunderstand it. Cinema after the 1917 revolution was anything but static (to my understanding, at least), with groundbreaking things being done by Kulechov, Eisenstein, Pudovkin etc. Of course later on this changed, but at least in the beginning the ground was pretty fertile. And do you have any pointers on russian silents made before the revolution? I'd really like to see some of those.

[daughterrevolution]

@vladbary1970 It shouldn't matter where the actors and director were born, it should only matter where the film was made. It was made in France, so it is a French Avant Garde film. If it was made in Britain it would have been British Avant Garde. If it was made in Germany it would have been German Avant Garde. Etc etc etc.

[Chopiano]

@GoldenSilents

You did the right thing, this music perfectly conveys the emotional environment of the scene .

[zappazowie]

@GoldenSilents this is absolutely stunning work.. most impressive... please keep this beauty and talent coming!

[AdorableFlapper36]

I really love this clip cuz her face shows the emotions so good that i felt real still when i watched this and actually felt sad for her. do you have the rest of this film or any more clips from it?

[ajittffcure]

Very beautiful shots and it is strangely emotional as well.

[zappazowie]

please, could you find out the music to this? it is absolutely stunning... gorgeous...

[zappazowie]

almost sounds like 'caravan' from duke ellington..

bit of a stretch but similar..

[Windflower63]

Love this scene, the breath and emotions, her face is beautiful!

[ticklesitter]

This is beyond words, and says so much about this delicate life. Whenever I get caught up in the material world of instant gratification I will return to this film and remind myself of the simple beauty in all things. Thank you for posting this.

I have another hauntingly beautiful early silent film up about homelessness at the link above. It's from 1912 (the year the Titanic went down) and is called From The Submerged. Very powerful. I added beautiful music to that one as well.

[wildmanchris200]

Woman is SO BEAUTIFUL and cute, yes, I wanna touch her head for real!

[Tap2323]
