Judex + The Wooden Leg
Franju's beautiful example of cinefantastique recaptures the magic and ingenuity of early cinema.
Judex
Franju's masterly homage to the silent serials of Louis Feuillade reproduces the costumes and settings of the original Judex in scrupulous detail. Franju cast magician Channing Pollock in the role of Judex, the mysterious righter of wrongs - allowing for dazzling displays of screen magic including disappearing doves that play a key role in the rescue of the heroine. Franju's beautiful example of cinefantastique recaptures the magic and ingenuity of early cinema.
