I wasn’t very impressed with Karl’s latest efforts, but this little gem from 2008 is quite nice. It captures the silent film era very well, working with a large vignettes, dialogue titles and quite convincing in-camera-like effects. Youtube-quality on all the uploads i could track is very low, but I guess that’s a good thing. That way, you can’t spot the digital filters they used on the material to make it look dated. So, the nostalgia is quite convincing, and so is the performance by Edita Vilkeviciute as Gabrielle (pre-Coco) Chanel.
