Balzac Cinema Jeanne Pierre Plaisirs Silent Salammbo
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Roaring Twenties in Paris as we explore a captivating scene from the 1925 French silent film, Salammbo. Directed by Pierre Marodon and starring the enchanting Jeanne de Balzac in the titular role, this cinematic masterpiece transported audiences to ancient Carthage with its grandeur and passion. In this evocative image, Salammbo, the beautiful priestess, is depicted in the midst of a lively jazz performance at the Plaisirs, a popular nightclub in Paris. Surrounded by an eclectic mix of dancers, musicians, and revelers, Salammbo's intoxicating allure draws the attention of all those in attendance. The 1920s ambiance is palpable, with the smoky, dimly lit room filled with the sounds of jazzy tunes and the laughter of the crowd. The age of jazz and the Roaring Twenties was a time of liberation and self-expression, and Salammbo embodies this spirit as she embraces the energy of the moment. The film, based on Gustave Flaubert's novel of the same name, is a rich tapestry of history, passion, and human emotion, making it a must-see for both film and history enthusiasts. Experience the magic of this bygone era through the captivating image of Jeanne de Balzac as Salammbo, lost in the moment at the Plaisirs nightclub. This photograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the decadence and excitement of the 1920s in Paris.
