Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertIn its particular way, Cabiria is beautiful and enthralling.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin ThomasBoth one of the most influential films ever made and one of the most rarely shown.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Ronald BerganThe international success of this Italian spectacle, the longest and most expensive motion picture made up to that date, allowed DW Griffith to gain support for his large-scale projects.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Pat GrahamGiovanni Pastrone's 1914 film is one of several early Italian epics that significantly influenced the form and flow of the feature film, then in its developmental infancy.
User Review - 10/10 by Lidiya PMagnificent! Much more technologically advanced than I expected. The writing adds greatly to the effect of the movie upon the viewer.
User Review - 10/10 by Kal X. AI find it tragic, enthralling, and mysterious that one of the most innovative films in the history of cinema is also one of the least known. In many ways, it was so far ahead of it's time, and so evolved in terms of the grand vision the film possessed. Simply put, every Epic film in the pantheon of cinematic history owes something to Cabiria. An appropriate and well-deserved nickname for this film would have to be the Godfather of Epics.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric HA truly remarkable film! Operatic sets, histrionic posturing and title cards by protofascist Gabriele D'Annunzio make this silent classic a cut above all that came before and much that came after. It doesn't really matter that the title character gets precious little screen time and zero close-ups or that there's more plot than a dozen movies, this picture is special. I mean, it's got everything: volcanoes, shipwrecks, blood thirsty pagans, greedy tavern owners, not to mention guest appearances by Archimedes (with the original death ray), Hannibal (with elephants), Moloch (evil overlord of the Dark Empire) and other assorted luminaries including a recalcitrant leopard who wanders on and off the set. No zombies though.This film was also notable as the beginning of the ever-popular Maciste franchise. Bartolomeo Pagano starred in a series of over 20 further adventures of Maciste before the 20s were out, to say nothing of all later incarnations. In one memorable scene Mr. Maciste gives new meaning to the phrase "the daily grind." This is a movie not to be missed!
User Review - 10/10 by Richard PAstonishing silent epic about the Punic Wars, much of which anticipates the Babylon sequences in Griffith's "Intolerance". The scale is enormous, but it manages not to alienate because it sticks to a fairly straightforward linear narrative that deals with characters and events on their own terms rather than trying to make them overtly conceptual and symbolic (the key word being "overtly"; this is also a film about the barbarousness of North African culture contrasted with the enlightened Roman world - but the film is almost a century old, and roughly the same thing is true of "300", vintage 2007, so I'm willing to cut it some slack). The set pieces - Hannibal crossing the Alps, the sacrifices to Moloch, the battle sequences - still hold up today, as the more static camera work lets the audience take in the scope and choreography.
User Review - 10/10 by Mariarita MA Must to see for film scholars. It's the second time I watch this epic film which inspired Griffith, and in which Pastrone experiments the his invention of the dolly (yes, he invented the dolly!!!!), and I always appreciate the sophisticated use of the cinematic devices of early Italian cinema. Fab is also the mimesis of the music score with the compositional elements of the image and the narrative. And then the Temple of Moloch is so 'unheimlich'...
User Review - 8/10 by Marta JI can't imagine a more impressive pre-1920s film. I still haven't figured out how they did some of the shots in it with that old tech. But I was still bored to tears. That's not the movies fault, but I have a hard time giving a movie 10 just for historical importance alone.
