Livorno. Modern Theatre. An indescribable crowd contends the scraps of space to watch the film of Arena and Blood (Blood and Sand, Blood and Sand) . The humble drafter of these chronicles that went into the projection room to review the film, found himself in the top of the stairs without having contacted the stairs ...
Turin. The first Cinema of Italy. Blood and Arena - film in five parts, from the famous novel by Blasco Ibanez. Here, the criticism has nothing to do. It seems evident that the sovereign mind of Blasco Ibanez, has resulted in a work that has no weaknesses.
The film is correct, interesting in every episode. And not only because it shows us something so important for our general culture, which is Spain with its bullfights and bullfighters in his world, very similar to that of our content, but for all that has passion for this wonderful drama .
The same thesis is passionate. See:
Gallardo, triumphs. Rooms from nothing by the darkness, the glory, by virtue of that sacred fire, which brought with it from the very first instincts under the unyielding passion, dominant, for the glory of the bullfighter. And wins, always triumphs over all. It was surrounded by this twisted halo of his own, and makes the banner of his own happiness.
But what should not, soon became aware that a man reached the glory more beautiful, at the cost of everything, feels the need to throw it at the foot of a woman. From that day on he became convinced that whatever we do, we make it to the "woman". And before he wishes, can lose or increase a man. He even Napoleon.
Only - and this, for what, the novel, we have known through the film - us it seems that love is not guilty was to be presented as a blaze that quickly dies out. But as an emotional need for the psychology of the artist, which is almost identical with that of the bullfighter.
is true that we must take into account the tares of all descriptions ... But we understand his reluctance to throw themselves in the adventure of the bullfighter, who was to speak powerfully to his imagination instead of elected by the new glory.
What about enforcement?
is easy to imagine how, under the direction of Fred Niblo, everything went beautifully. Even Rudolph Valentino
we liked more than in many absurdities, not least of which the captain the Albatros (The Hub the Albatros, Moran of the Lady Letty) , where we see a boxing tournament that takes place on the rigging of a ship ...
Best, in his short piece, Carmen. It is particularly effective
the witch of beauty, which we do not know the name, who played the femme fatale: Sol, who, if he wanted to throw a ring ... can be sure that we collect, without scruple, Egypt evil eye .
Florence. Cinema Gambrinus. Rudolph Valentino, he knows more and more captivate the sympathy of all the public once again showed us that the huge mass of audience (the most chic of the Florentine aristocracy) who literally packed the hall of our beautiful Gambrinus, for many, many consecutive evenings. The story of love, passion and death of the bullfighter, is embodied by Rudolph Valentino, in a commendable way. If Blood and Arena met such great favor with the public in Florence, it is due almost exclusively to Rudolph Valentino, who was able to really carve in every detail, the turbulent life of the bullfighter Gallardo.
Venice. Teatro Rossini. The Lady of the Camellias (Camille) of Loew-Metro, despite the magnificence of the staging and interpretation Rudolph Valentino and Alla Nazimova appeared in a film of cold and deficient emotional drama.
Rome. Cinema Capranica. The age of love (Beyond the Rocks) . It 's a film of great humanity and lively, varied in the course of the action scenes, and landscapes chosen with great taste.
(...) The interpretation of Valentine's Day is great as well as that of other actors. Beautiful photography, especially in the African scene.
