Victim of a gambling addiction, a man ends up taking all the risks, including that of losing outright. Wanting to spare his wife from dishonor in this ruin, he goes into exile forever in America. Pregnant, his wife gave birth to their child who also had a desire for play...
With Le Double Amour , Jean Epstein affirms his ambition to renew the cinematographic language by placing photogenics at the heart of his approach. The film deploys a visual style of great finesse: expressive close-ups, variations in rhythm, subtle work on light and attention to the most minute gestures. This formal research gives the whole a singular emotional intensity, where the faces become real interior landscapes. In it, Epstein continues his exploration of social tensions and human illusions, without ever sacrificing the poetic dimension of his gaze. The presence of Nathalie Lissenko and Jean Angelo, whose precise and nuanced acting perfectly meets the filmmaker's requirements, contributes greatly to the expressive force of the film. The restoration of the film today allows us to rediscover its plastic richness and modernity, confirming Le Double Amour as an essential work in the evolution of the filmmaker's work. His mastery of rhythm and composition is a reminder of how much his work helped to open up new avenues for 1920s cinema.
