Festival du Cinéma muet d'Anères: The Revenant (After death

Festival du Cinéma muet d'Anères: The Revenant (After death) Experience a haunting, masterful silent classic from the golden age of Hungarian cinema. In this 1920 Hungarian production, director Alfréd Deésy brings the suspenseful novel *The Man Who Returns from Afar* by Gaston Leroux to life with inventive mise‑en‑scène, razor‑sharp editing, and theatrical settings that still feel modern. The story follows the doomed romance of Márta and André, a woman bound to an arranged marriage and a brother who covets his fortune. When André mysteriously vanishes, the film weaves a tense, supernatural thread through the aftermath of a world at war and Hungary’s loss of half its territory after the Treaty of Versailles. The film runs 1 hour 29 minutes in its original version and is presented in DCP with French subtitles. It was printed by Hungary’s National Film Institute. Listen to fresh, evocative music crafted for silent cinema by Benjamin Moussay, and delight in the exquisite performance by violinist Frédéric Norel, guitarist Federico Casagrande, and pianist Benjamin Moussay. Don’t miss this immersive, atmospheric relic from 1920, now brought to life for modern audiences and streaming enthusiasts.
