Intolerance
Directed by D.W. Griffith
Starring Bessie Love, Lillian Gish, Tod Browning, Erich von Stroheim, Elmo Lincoln, Mae Marsh
Run Time 170 min
Director D.W. Griffith's epic Intolerance is a silent masterpiece steeped in cinematic history and a spectacle to behold. The film presents four narratives stretching from biblical to modern times, held together by themes of intolerance, man's inhumanity to man, hypocrisy, bigotry, religious hatred, persecution, discrimination, and injustice.
Restored to the big screen, the film surprises even today with its vitality.
