Erich von Stroheim DVD Collection [3 DVD9 + 1 DVD5]
Blind Husbands (1919) | Foolish Wives (1922) | Queen Kelly (1929) | The Great Gabbo (1929) | The Man You Loved to Hate (1980)

"A true artist – My God, he had talent!" — Orson Welles

These versions of Blind Husbands, Foolish Wives and Queen Kelly are the most comprehensive to date. The recent restorations of these films are remarkable although numerous scratches remain (you can't work miracles on masters as damaged as Foolish Wives), but Queen Kelly is remarkably clean for a silent film. Through their innovative style and incredible visual originality, Blind Husbands, Foolish Wives and Queen Kelly are still surprisingly modern today as when they were created by the director of Greed. And each of these classics still carry an unique scent of scandal.

Nous voici ici en présence des versions de ces trois films (Maris aveugles, Folies de femmes et Queen Kelly) les plus complètes à ce jour. De plus, les restaurations effectuées dernièrement sont vraiment très réussies et si demeurent d'innombrables scratchs et rayures en tous genres (on ne peut pas faire de miracles non plus, surtout pour des masters aussi abîmées que celui de Folies de femmes), les copies ont retrouvées une belle jeunesse (surtout en comparaison de celles ignobles, et à bannir de toute urgence, proposées dans une collection de DVD vendue sur Cdiscount, Ciné Club Hollywood), celle de Queen Kelly étant même remarquablement propre pour un muet. Bref, pour ces films des années 20, je ne vois pas comment il aurait été possible de faire mieux ; et pour ne rien gâcher, la compression s'avère parfaitement bien gérée. Du très bon travail.

Erich von Stroheim — Blind Husbands (1919) [DVD9]
Full dual-layer DVD image (.ISO) | DVD9 | English intertitles | French subtitles (optional) | 1:32:25 | 1.33 | 7.69 GB

Rarely in history has a single film catapulted a director to the forefront of world cinema, but the innovative style and sophisticated themes of Blind Husbands made Erich von Stroheim an immediate sensation, exposing the complex layers of repression, jealousy, and lust that lie beneath the surface of an American couple's marriage.
One of Hollywood's earliest —and most peculiar— musicals, The Great Gabbo stars von Stroheim as an egotistical ventriloquist who casts a Svengali-like spell upon an ingenue. Director James Cruze allowed von Stroheim to endow the character with his signature flourishes, resulting in a wicked cocktail of garish stage shows and Austro-Hungarian villainy that is a diabolical delight.

Première réalisation de Stroheim, Blind Husbands (Maris aveugles) a immédiatement propulsé son auteur au premier plan du cinéma mondial. Dans ce film au style novateur, Erich von Stroheim développe avec modernité les thèmes de la répression, de la jalousie et du désir qui affectent la vie d'un couple américain…

• The Great Gabbo : a film by James Cruze with Erich von Stroheim (1929) 97'
• Notes on The Great Gabbo by Erich von Stroheim

Erich von Stroheim DVD Collection [3 DVD9 + 1 DVD5]

Erich von Stroheim — Foolish Wives (1922) [DVD9]
Full dual-layer DVD image (.ISO) | DVD9 | English intertitles | French subtitles (optional) | 2:23:38 | 1.33 | 7.24 GB

Erich von Stroheim's third feature, Foolish Wives, was 21 reels in length when it was completed in 1921. The studio eliminated one third of the film before the initial release, and this abridged version was completely retitled and reduced by half its length to 7 reels for a subsequent reissue. For over 40 years, the film was seen only in its shortest form. The present copy, assembled for The American Film Institute by Arthur Lenning, represents an attempt to reconstruct the film to a more authentic version. The original titles have been restored and much of the footage eliminated over the years has been replaced. Although still fragmentary, this is the most complete form in which Foolish Wives is known to exist today.

Foolish Wives (Folies de femmes) est un film aussi délicieusement décadent que brillant, dans lequel Stroheim donne à la splendeur de Monaco, magnifiquement reconstituée, une atmosphère d'immoralité. Il compose, grâce à son extraordinaire sens visuel, une histoire inquiétante et fascinante.

Special Features:
• Notes on the film by Erich von Stroheim
• Censored scenes
• Gallery of production stills

Patrick Montgomery — The Man You Loved to Hate (1979) [DVD5]
Full single-layer DVD image (.ISO) | DVD5 | English | French subtitles (optional) | 1:18:44 | 1.33 | 4.20 GB

A full-length documentary on von Stroheim's life and career, The Man You Loved To Hate blends revealing interviews, rare photographs, and clips from von Stroheim's legendary and lesser-known works to create a fascinating tribute to one of American cinema's most complex artists. Written by Richard Koszarski with music by Herbert Deutsch.

Documentaire TV des années 80 (à l'image floue qui rappellera les heures de gloire de la VHS à ses nostalgiques!) revenant sur toute la carrière professionnelle et la vie privée de Stroheim avec moults anecdotes, extraits de films rares et interviews de collaborateurs. Même si le document est en assez mauvais état, il permet de nous rendre compte du formidable travail de restauration qui a eu lieu pour les quatre films présentés dans le coffret. Pas un travail critique mais classiquement hagiographique.

Erich von Stroheim — Queen Kelly (1929) [DVD9]
Full dual-layer DVD image (.ISO) | DVD9 | English intertitles | French subtitles (optional) | 1:40:51 | 1.33 | 7.77 GB

In 1928, shooting began on one of the most lavish spectacles planned in movie history. If filmed in its entirety, Queen Kelly would have run 30 reels —approximately 5 hours long. Produced by actress Gloria Swanson and Boston financier Joseph Kennedy, the writer-director they chose was the era's most creative and controversial artist, Erich von Stroheim. For 3 months, von Stroheim was given free reign until his financial and artistic extravagances caused his abrupt dismissal. Approximately one-third of the original script had been filmed. The creator of such masterpieces as Foolish Wives, Greed, and The Merry Widow was never to direct a major production again.
Using stills, titles and all available film from the production, this version of Queen Kelly follows the original von Stroheim script. It is the most complete Queen Kelly ever to be assembled. In it one can see the director's unique talent for psychological detail and lush pictorial composition. A major setback to his turbulent career, von Stroheim had expected Queen Kelly to be his finest achievement.

Entre histoire d'amour de conte de fées et sinistre récit de déchéance, Queen Kelly est, comme le chef d'oeuvre de Stroheim, Greed, un film maudit, dont la productrice et star du film Gloria Swanson fit stopper la production avant la fin du tournage. Une version restaurée, incluant les scènes polémiques à l'origine de l'arrêt de la production.

Special Features:
• Introduction by Gloria Swanson 11'
• Notes on the film by Erich von Stroheim
• Censored scenes 19'
• Swanson's alternate ending 6'
• Photo gallery
• Gloria Swanson memories 9'
