Eclipse Series 4: Raymond Bernard

Director: Raymond Bernard
One of the greatest and least-known directors of all time, Raymond Bernard helped shape French cinema, at the dawn of the sound era, into a truly formidable industry. Typical of films from this period, Bernard's dazzling dramas painted intimate melodrama on epic-scale canvases. These two masterpieces -- the wrenching World War I tragedy Wooden Crosses and a mammoth, nearly five-hour Les miserables, widely considered the greatest film adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel -- exemplify the formal and narrative brilliance of an unjustly overshadowed cinematic trailblazer.
