El Automovil Gris January 18, 2007

'El Automovil Gris' is likely the most important film made in Mexico prior to 1920 and is one of the few surviving Mexican silents. It synthesizes many elements popular in international cinema; from the Italian historical epics, like 'Cabiria' and the American equivalent, especially 'Intolerance,' along with the popular French crime serials, like 'Les Vampires.'
