Le Juif errant <French> / The Wandering Jew (1926) is a feature film (silent, B&W, 305m), directed by Luitz-Morat.
~ Based on Eugene Sue.
Abstract
The 305m film is made of a « Prologue » and four episodes:
- 1. « Les Ardents »
- 2. «Monsieur Rodin »
- 3. « Le 13 février »
- 4. « Le Justicier ».
The film is an adaptation of the famous novel by Eugene Sue and the play that d'Ennery, Sue and Dinaux drew from it (1849). In the 40-minute prologue, Pontius Pilate delivers Christ to the howling crowd, and Ahasverus insults him on Calvary. The other episodes took place in 1640 during a pogrom in the Warsaw ghetto, then in Paris in 1832 under Louis-Philippe. The film was shot at the Cinéromans studios in Joinville-le-Pont and in the Paris region; see Hervé Dumont, L'antiquité au cinéma, p. 457.
