The Fall of Troy (1911)
Directed by Giovanni
Pastrone and Luigi Romano Borgnetto this is a silent film based on
the legend of the same name. After his wife is stolen a Greek king
and his brother go siege Troy to get her back.
Plot wise this film
very much as you would expect with little to remark upon. Where this
silent film comes into its own is the really impressive sets for the
period. The art direction manages to achieve a really good level of
scale and grandeur.
4/5
