Overview

Georges Franju’s Judex is an arch, playful tribute to the serials of the influential silent filmmaker Louis Feuillade. Franju shuffles through the plot of Feuillade’s lengthy serial of the same name, about an adventurer named Judex (Channing Pollock) whose revenge against the corrupt banker Favraux (Michel Vitold) unleashes a complicated series of schemes.

Viewing Notes

This is a pretty fun and gorgeous homage to the cliffhanger silent thriller serial of the same name from the 1910s. I think I need to own this on Blu!
