Description
a l'aventure DVD
Here’s a refined one‑paragraph overview:
The Criterion Collection 2‑DVD set of Judex (1963), directed by Georges Franju, presents his visually striking, modernist reimagining of Louis Feuillade’s 1916 masked‑avenger serial. Set in an elegant dream‑like version of pre‑WWI France, the story follows the mysterious avenger Judex (Channing Pollock) who confronts corrupt banker Favraux, weaving deceit, kidnapping, rescue, and surreal visuals—including a bird‑masked magic act at a masquerade ball.. Criterion’s dual‑format disc includes a new 2K digital restoration and uncompressed mono soundtrack, accompanied by supplements such as interviews with co‑writer Jacques Champreux and actor Francine Bergé, a 50‑minute documentary Franju le Visionnaire, two early Franju shorts (Hôtel des Invalides and Le Grand Méliès), plus a 36‑page booklet featuring an essay by Geoffrey O’Brien and selected commentary by Franju himself.
