“This Russian-made picture (distributed in the U.S. by Pathe) is typically gloomy. Prima donna Mary Mar (N.A. Lesienko) is surrounded by admirers. But a poet, Sergius (Ivan Mozukin) wants to be more to her and he proposes. So they marry, and she becomes involved in charity activities. On one of her rounds, she contracts smallpox and is quarantined. Even Sergius cannot enter the house. During her illness another opera star becomes the favorite in her stead. Mary’s face becomes horribly disfigured as a result of the smallpox and she has to auction off her belongings to pay her creditors. Finally Sergius returns. Mary is wearing a veil, and when he lifts it, he is disgusted by the sight of her. So she leaves him and becomes a beggar in the streets, while he goes to his studio and kills himself by drug overdose”

Twenty years later, after a fortune, he returns.

The film was reconstructed and saved in 1986 by Renée Lichtig from the original negative kept at the Cinémathèque française, a negative that had joined the collections in 1958. In 2009, with the help of the Franco-American Cultural Fund, the shades of origin have been reintroduced thanks to two elements from the collections: a vintage tinted copy and the original negative. Furthermore, this nitrate copy made it possible to reintroduce some shots and inserts that were missing in the reconstruction of 1986. In 2013, the film was digitized, and set to music by Karol Beffa on its original composition. The digitization work was entrusted to the Vectracom laboratory and the synchronization to the L’Immagine ritrovata laboratory (Bologna).

A rather classic melodrama, Le Double amour is the third film by Jean Epstein for the firm Albatros, produced between February and April 1925. As for the second opus, L’Affiche , the scenario is signed Marie Epstein and gives full powers of expression to actress Nathalie Lissenko, star of the Russian studio in Montreuil. She interprets the Countess Maresco, at the same time mother and grieving woman, great tragic aristocratic silhouette around which gravitate Camille Bardou, Pierre Batcheff and Jean Angelo, all in tune with her collapses and lamentations. Double loveis a film about the universe of pretense, flambe, play, baccarat, elegance. The costumes and outfits are provided by the house of Drecoll and the great fashion designer Paul Poiret. The photography is particularly neat and the light of the outdoor scenes (mostly filmed in Cannes) as the editing effects can announce the next poetic works of the filmmaker, such this recurring plan of waves crashing against the cliff which structures the narration. Double lovealso allows Epstein to meet two loyal collaborators, the decorator Pierre Kéfer and the actor Nino Costantini. The remarkable decors invented by Pierre Kéfer and produced by Lazare Meerson allow daring shots, with a particularly great depth of field. Released in November 1925, the film met with critical success and the press evoked a “personal vision” and recognized a “technique accomplished” for the filmmaker. And Langlois to affirm: “It is enough to project a coil of faithful Heart and a coil of Double loveto realize the progress of Epstein. Despite his profession of faith, he knew how to assimilate the human element, to get rid of this kind of break caused by the disproportion of the vigor and the mastery of his technique and the poverty of his direction of actors. Double love is therefore not an indifferent work, and it was necessary for Epstein. “

Quote:
This is a biopic of the 19th Century actor, Edmund Kean.

You may remember him for his famous last words: “Dying is easy, comedy is hard.”

Made some 90 years after his death, the film tells of the greatest actor of his time, a man toasted as the greatest actor of all time.

Great though he may have been on the stage, his personal life was a wreck.

He was hounded by creditors, had a problem with alcohol, and to make matters worse, had fallen in love with the wife of an ambassador.
Troubled by the fact that he loves, and is loved, by someone he cannot have, he drowns his troubles in drink, seeming to have a grand time dancing till all hours of the night while really in terrible pain.

He’s shown to be a kind man too, however, putting on a benefit performance of Hamlet in order to help some traveling thespians who have fallen on hard times.

Unbeknownst to the popular actor, this performance, with the object of his affection as well as her husband in the audience, will have dramatic consequences on his life.
