If you loved True Heart Susie, try Gebrochene Blüten
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by D.W. Griffith, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to True Heart Susie, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Gebrochene Blüten is
D.W. Griffith's melodramas can be a bit much, it's true. Here, a young girl is terrorized by her abusive pugilist father, then finds a tender, platonic friendship with a visiting missionary from China's Tong district. It's a bit of a bummer, even for a silent film.
