The End of the World by August Blom with Moritz Bielawski, Alf Blütecher, Johanne Fritz-Petersen 1916 / Danemark / 1h17 / DCP / vostf Copy: Danish Film Institute (Denmark)
A mine foreman has two daughters: righteous Edith and eccentric Dina. Edith falls in love with Reymers, a ship's lieutenant, while Dina disappears with an unscrupulous capitalist, Frank Stoll. When news breaks that a comet has set off on a collision course with Earth, Stoll exploits the situation to corner the stock market...
The End of the World , also known as The Flaming Sword , is one of those rare and somewhat forgotten gems from the early days of fantasy in cinema. When it was released in 1916, the film captured the attention of a wide audience, driven by the anxieties caused by the recent passage of Halley's Comet, six years earlier, and the troubled context of the First World War. The history of cinema teaches us that spectators have always been attracted by stories laden with anxiety, especially in times of socio-political uncertainty. Moreover, the plot of the film is reminiscent of The Mysterious Star, the famous Tintin adventure published much later, in 1942. One might wonder whether Hergé, when drawing this work in 1941, at the height of the Second World War, was not, even slightly, inspired by it.
