Abel Cinema Close Discussing Glance Roue Scenario Silent 1924
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Abel Gance, the renowned French filmmaker, engages in a deep conversation with British film star Ivy Close as they pore over the scenario for his groundbreaking film, "La Roue" (The Wheel), released in 1924. The image captures the essence of the Jazz Age in the 1920s, with its innovative spirit and artistic experimentation. Gance, known for his pioneering work in French cinema, is famed for his technical innovations and daring storytelling. "La Roue," considered a seminal work in the history of silent films, was no exception. The film's ambitious narrative follows the interconnected lives of three characters: a railway worker, a circus performer, and a wealthy nobleman. Ivy Close, a popular British actress, graces the scene with her elegant presence. She had already made a name for herself in the film industry, having appeared in various British and American productions. Her collaboration with Gance on "La Roue" marked a significant moment in her career, as she brought depth and nuance to her role as the tragic heroine. The photograph, taken during the production of "La Roue," offers a rare glimpse into the creative process of these two artists. They are deeply engrossed in their discussion, their intense focus a testament to their dedication and passion for their craft. The backdrop of Paris, the birthplace of the silent film movement, adds to the historical significance of the moment. As they discuss the intricacies of the film's narrative, Gance and Close embody the spirit of innovation and artistic exploration that defined the 1920s. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of cinema and the collaborative efforts that brought some of the most groundbreaking works to life.
