Review of À Nous la Liberté (1931) by Lyndon G — 27 Nov 2007
Strange but rousing talkie by Rene Clair after directing only silents. You can tell that he's not sure what to do with the soundtrack, and there are song and dance numbers that seem very peculiar, and there's very little dialogue at first.
As the story picks up, it starts to seem more modern. Quite like waking up from sleep--you can tell some of the actors had never talked on film. There's a huge art deco almost modern-looking record store in one scene.
I had no idea such things existed in 1930.
