EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the set of the French silent film "L'Emprise" (The Possession), directed by Jean Epstein and released in 1929. In this scene, we find the mesmerizing gaze of Enrique Rivero locked onto Elza Temary, as they engage in an intense and passionate exchange. The film, set in the vibrant and decadent 1920s Paris, follows the story of a painter who becomes obsessed with a woman he meets at a jazz club. The age of silence in cinema is characterized by its visual storytelling, and this photograph encapsulates the raw emotion and intensity that could be conveyed through the medium, even without dialogue. The era of the 1920s, also known as the "Roaring Twenties," was a time of cultural and artistic revolution, with jazz music playing a significant role in shaping the zeitgeist. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of this period and the groundbreaking work that emerged from it. The film "L'Emprise" is considered a seminal work in the history of French cinema, and this image serves as a powerful reminder of its enduring impact.
