WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
"For those who do not know silent film, 'More Treasures' is a superb introduction to a
world of unique beauty and expressivity; for committed cinephiles, it is simply nine and
a half hours of ecstasy."
"This box set is both a spectacular entertainment package and a cornerstone of our
collective memory."
"This DVD Boxset is so professionally created that it almost brings me to tears. This is
the history and evolution of film. It can be given nothing but 5 out of 5 stars."
"This is a marvelous opportunity for film buffs and students to see rare material in
pristine form."
"BLISSthat's what this set should be called. This is a time machine folks. Literally,
step inside and you'll be taken away to cities and times that'll just make you smile."
"This impressive new three-disc set is a must-have for any serious film student."
"This is a collection one could get lost in for days and savor for years."
"Essential viewing for anyone interested in the history of the motion picture."
"Watching these films one is struck by the sense of the experimental, the freedom, the
awkwardness, the deliriously creative chaos from which Hollywood was birthed, a
magnificent cinematic solar system from celluloid cosmic dust."
"More Treasures feels more like, well, a treasure chest of carefully considered
antiques. More than a dozen historians and preservationists provide background-loaded
commentary tracks for the collection. The soundtracks are period-approriate and
varied rather than the usual tinkling pianos heard on new videos of old films. The
186 pages of program notes are absorbing, accessible, and opinionated."
"This edition is almost 10 hours of treasurable cinemania."
"A collection as fascinating and entertaining as it is edifying...it's a box full
of wonders that is practically inexhaustible."
"As this invaluable collection reminds us, the history of cinema is just beginning."
"More Treasures from American Film Archives...is also a fascinating history of film music." |
