Review of The Phantom of the Opera (1925) by Cruz — 20 Jun 2008
The camera movements in this film are the best. I truly haven't seen anything more artistic than that (aside form some of Chaplin's movies). The camera is the narrator, the cuts and editions of each scene are perfectly timed, this is what they call the magic of cinema, its a standard, a school for modern day directing and editing.
It's just an eye feast and is what cinema is about: watching, seeing, sound is just a complement. Great story (of course), great direction and great performances.
