L'ARGENT

Marcel L'Herbier Francia, 1928
Those who do not own the Eureka! set should welcome the renewed availability of this major film, perhaps L’Herbier’s finest. . . . Apart from being an interesting early Impressionist film in itself, it provides a useful contrast in styles between similar stories told in 1921 and 1928 by the same director.

I have expressed my reservations about L’Herbier’s films in earlier entries, but for me L’Argent is the big exception: stylistically daring and narratively engaging. Perhaps adapting Zola led L’Herbier to make a more conventionally suspenseful film than usual.

...Such divided opinion recalls a more recent portrayal of the One Percent's depravity and another dazzling display of an auteur's style, Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street (2013), which tackles our generation's greedheads, revealing their cloistered, entitled world. The similarities between the two films – right down to the repulsive fetishizing of women – induces a similar queasiness. But both keep hammering their central lesson, which is never heeded.

L'Argent is a siege of style: gargantuan stylized sets (often tiled as vast chessboards and loomed over by giant maps), on-location shooting at the Parisian Bourse, relentlessly restless camera runs and pivots and swoops, kaleidoscopic layered compositions that suggest a new world distorted into elephantiasic overgrowth by egos and ambitions, and so on.... [It] teems with life and flooding perspectival action in ways that are very un-silent — it's a film that's bursting its borders.
