Bringing in the New Year with High Drama

There are many ways you can bring in the usher out 2006 and bring in 2007, but of all the things going on in Paris on December 31s, I’d be tempted to start off the night at the Cinematheque Francaise to see some films that you may have the opportunity to see but once or twice in a lifetime on a theater screen. This is the ongoing German Expressionist series that I mentioned in a previous post. Tonight at 7 pm you can see Seigfried and Kriemheld’s revenge (two 1920 silent film gems) that I would recommend to any serious film buffs. What’s the big deal? Once again, like the Man who Laughs, these are the movie images that will stick with you for a lifetime. You can also catch Lil Dagover earlier in the day in an interview with Death in Les Trois Lumieres which runs at 2:30 pm. I haven’t seen this film -wish that I could - but lucky you, if you’re in Paris today, you can see Lil Dagover, the star of Metropolis.
