THE BIRTH OF A NATION
D.W. GRIFFITH
DELUXE EDITION
Widely regarded as the father of
American film, David Wark Griffith
(1875-1948) revolutionized the
language of cinema and transformed a five-cent novelty into an
art form. His historical epics and
Victorian melodramas achieved
new heights of emotional richness, created unbearable dramatic tension, and sparked controversies that continue to rage,
nearly a century later.
Almost a century after its release, THE BIRTH OF
A NATION remains one of the most controversial
films ever made. It’s a landmark achievement that
continues to fascinate and enrage audiences. D.W.
Griffith’s masterful direction combines brilliant
battle scenes and tender romance with a vicious
portrayal of African Americans. Newly mastered
in HD and with the rediscovered intermission sequence). Loaded with extras!
