The Extraordinary Adventures of Saturnino Farandola

Wow. The Extraordinary Adventures of Saturnino Farandola is my new favorite film of 1913! Starring and directed by Marcel Perez under the name Marcel Fabre, this incredible fantasy owes much to The Jungle Book and Tarzan, which was being serialized as this film was made. I hope this gets preserved from whatever 35mm elements survive with English translations and a good score. This version from Cinemateca has a very nice (needle drop?) score already.

Hear hear!
Thanks Rob.
The EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES is extraordinary for 1913.
It's also an appropriate film to watch alongside the new 'MassaModel Inc' Perez production.
I've posted something else that's Perez related in a separate post...
