If you loved Pobre amor (El verdadero corazón de Susie), try Lirios rotos
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by D.W. Griffith, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pobre amor (El verdadero corazón de Susie), the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Lirios rotos 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.
