	Les indépendants du 1er siècle - Biographie de Louis Feuillade
		Louis Feuillade was born on February 29th 1873 in Lunel (Herault - France) in a family of modest wine merchants.
		We owe extraordinary sequences to his flair for arrangement, for example "a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissection table." In "Fantomas", the gunfight in the middle of barrels is as beautiful as the struggle with the boa.
		Louis Feuillade was one of the most famous filmmakers in the world after the World-War I. Thousands of spectators rushed to see his series of "Fantomas" (1913), and his serial films "The Vampires" (1915), "Judex" (1916), "Tih-Minh" (1918), "Barrabas" (1919), etc etc in which the heroes would quickly become important popular myths.

	Zones of Anxiety: Movement, Musidora, and the Crime Serials of Louis Feuillade - Vicki Callahan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		The crime serials by French filmmaker Louis Feuillade provide a unique point of departure for film studies, presenting modes rarely examined within early cinematic paradigms.
		Made during 1913 to 1920, the series of six films share not only a consistency of narrative structure and style but also a progressive revelation of the criminal threat—a dislocation of both cinematic and ideological subjectivity—as it shifts realms of social, cultural, and aesthetic disturbance.
		Feuillade’s work raises significant questions of cinema authorship, film history, and film aesthetics, all of which are examined in Vicki Callahan’s groundbreaking work Zones of Anxiety, the first study to address the crime serials of Louis Feuillade from a feminist perspective.

		Louis Feuillade (1874–1925), a French filmmaker who wrote and directed approximately 800 shorts, features, and serials in his eighteen-year career, was a pioneer of narrative film.
		Feuillade’s cinema transcended the conventions of the proscenium stage; he exchanged theatrical artifice for both realism and the freedom of open-air shooting.
		Feuillade’s twelve-part serial is a dreamy masterwork in which vials of forgetfulness, asylums where no one is insane, rooftop chases, and secret writings conspire to keep viewers engrossed and on edge.

	The Fantômas Website
		Louis Feuillade was born on February 19, 1873, in the small village of Lunel (Hérault) near the French Mediterranean.
		Feuillade's genius is simply measured: he saw that it was possible to achieve intense photographic naturalism and yet convey an imaginative experience of the world.
		Feuillade managed this alertness despite all the impediments of the age: he was the son of a civil servant; educated at a Catholic seminary; four years in the cavalry.

		Feuillade's exposition is in fact easier to follow than many 1930's Hollywood whodunits, which were often full of characters that were only briefly introduced.
		Feuillade does seem to have been an ardent family man, something that is reflected in the many family ties in his films.
		Feuillade perhaps suggests that the parents are exploiting their children here, that they should not be emotionally coerced into such a bad idea as revenge.

	FEUILLADE
		Feuillade’s solution — one which would subsequently be a favourite policy for Hollywood — was to avoid local and specifically French subjects and to seek universal stories and spectacular costumes and decors, generally historical.
		Feuillade ambienta i fantastici, fiabeschi miti di Allain e Souvestre, coi loro super-criminali, le vicende intricate, i parafernali della scelleratezza e l’eterna battaglia tra il Bene e il Male, nella vita quotidiana di Parigi e dintorni, durante gli ultimi bagliori della Belle Époque, riuscendo a creare un suo particolarissimo genere di realismo fantastico.
		Judex, scritto da Feuillade in collaborazione con Arthur Bernède, uscì in dodici episodi settimanali, in coincidenza con l’uscita a dispense su Le Petit Parisien, che poi vennero ripubblicati separatamente in forma di libretti.

	Louis Feuillade
		Louis Feuillade was one of the most solid and dependable talents in French cinema during the early twentieth century.
		Most of Feuillade's output forms part of a series of some kind and he clearly saw films in generic terms rather than as individually sculpted works.
		But the richest vein of Feuillade's work is the series of crime melodramas that extended from Fantômas in 1913–14 to Barrabas in 1920.

	StummFilmMusikTage Erlangen 2004: Louis Feuillade
		Feuillade's relative absence from the stage of cinema history can be traced to a certain extent to the mixed reception given his films at the time of their release.
		While Feuillade's crime films may appear to be consistent with certain narrative conventions - as in Griffith's work it seems clear who is the criminal and who is the force of the law - in fact a number of them play with ambiguities concerning the identity of the real criminal.
		Feuillade's use of the bodysuit for Musidora can be read as an effort to fix the uncertainty, to stabilise the ongoing fluidity at the level of narrative form and visual style.

		Louis Feuillade was an important and extremely prolific director of early silent films.
		Feuillade is best remembered for directing the Fantomas and the Vampire series of fantasies and for being the first to utilize the camera techniques that would later effect the Nouvelle Vague directors of the late '50s.
		Feuillade's films were also instrumental in shaping the conventions of suspense films and thrillers and in inspiring the German expressionist filmmakers of the 1920s.

		Louis Feuillade was one of the early masters of the Early Film years.
		Starting in 1913, Louis Feuillade filmed a Fantômas serial, which to this day is considered not only germane in the development of the adventure film but the definitive version of Fantômas.

		Louis Feuillade was born in 1873 in the small village of Lunel, Hérault, in the South of France, where his family ran a wine making business.
		Feuillade’s cinema was remarkably varied and included realist dramas, such as La Vie telle qu’elle est (1911), and historical epics, such as Prométhée (1908) and L'Agonie de Byzance (1913).
		Perhaps Feuillade’s greatest legacy is the part he played in the exploitation of cinema as a medium of mass entertainment, something which could appeal to all classes of society.

	Louis Feuillade, le Maître du cinéma \| MetaFilter
		Louis Feuillade made more than 800 films covering almost every contemporary genre: historical drama, comedy, realist drama, melodrama, religious films.
		Critics panned his crime films, often savagely, because the preoccupation of French critics and film-makers in the 1910s and 20s was to elevate cinema -– and, ironically, back then the French saw their own films as lacking the artistry and sophistication of American ones, by Griffith or DeMille – to the level of art.
		"Feuillade's detectivers in bowler hats, gravely pursuing the invincible fl shadow through the salons, corridors, and rooftops of Paris, made an endelible imprint on Magritte, and they may well be the origin of his later images of expressionelss businessmen.

	Louis Feuillade at Hollywood.com
		Feuillade began his career with Gaumont where, as well as directing his own features, he was appointed artistic director in charge of production in 1907.
		Feuillade's work was largely comprised of film series; his first, begun in 1910 and numbering 15 episodes, was "Le Film Esthetique", a financially unsuccessful attempt at "high-brow" cinema....
		Feuillade's most successful serials were "Fantomas" (1913-1914), which chronicled the diabolical exploits of the "emperor of crime," and the superb "Les Vampires" (1915-1916), which trailed a criminal gang led by Irma Vep (Musidora), and was noted for its imaginative use of locations and lyrical, almost surreal style.

		Louis Feuillade was born on February 19, 1873 in southern France.
		Today Louis Feuillade's films are admired for their documentary-like observation of interiors and locations in Paris and the surrounding suburbs.
		While Feuillade's filmmaking style is relatively conservative compared to other directors of the time such as D.W. Griffith, his staging of scenes, using a full range of depth from the foreground to the background, makes him a forerunner of later masters of mise-en-scene such as Jean Renoir and Orson Welles.

	Fantomas (Fantômas)
		Feuillade envisaged a series of films which could at least equal the success of the original novels.
		Feuillade creates a dark, dreamlike universe where the elusive villain Fantômas is as much a venomous scourge as a slick debonair hero.
		Although Feuillade did tone down the ending of this film to be less horrific than the original novel, it does have a chilling sense of realism, driven by the dramatic suspense in the narrative and the eerie use of light and shadow in the photography.

	New York Press - ED HALTER -
		This Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 30-31, MOMA is presenting the American premiere of a newly restored print of one of Feuillade’s later serials, the frenetically paranoid Barrabas, from 1919.
		Although Feuillade himself was an ultra-Catholic conservative and monarchist, Les Vampires was temporarily banned by the police for its purported glamorization of crime.
		Barrabas is one of the least written-about of Feuillade’s serials, which are otherwise praised by French cineastes from the surrealists to the New Wave and beyond.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Les Vampires
		Feuillade, like Dickens and King, gives the spectator his fix, and in telling a story over the course of months (maybe even years), the author ensures the spectator will come back for more.
		But Feuillade's influence on Rivette is obvious, primarily in the way characters slither in and out of rooms through doorways and walk atop rooftops; these motions are anxious, primordial, even pre-sexual.
		He observes through a small hand mirror as she poisons his drink; when Feuillade cuts to a shot of Irma reflected in the mirror, it feels as if this is the first punctuation in the film besides a cut to an intertitle.

	World Cinema: Films -- Judex (1963)
		There's a world of difference between the natural and "found" surrealism of Louis Feuillade's wonderful lighthearted 1914 French serial and the darker, studied surrealism and campy piety of Georges Franju's 1964 feature-length remake.
		Some of what Franju finds here is worthy of Cocteau, and as he found when he attempted another pastiche of Feuillade's work in colour, fl and white is essential to the poetic ambience.
		Since the original Feuillade serials, among the supreme glories of movie history, are rarely screened, this film, ironically, may be the best place to find the true origins of Batman.

		The apex of Feuillade’s popularity is roughly contemporary with the First World War, and the random violence and unnerving instability found in his films echo the continent’s disorder at the time.
		And so, in 1917, Feuillade embarked on his third major crime serial, one in which the more radically morbid elements of the previous films (such as the extravagant body-counts) would be reduced in favor of an ostensibly more edifying experience.
		In Feuillade’s words, it was to be “a family show, exalting the finest sentiments,” and reasserting the triumph of good over evil, not relishing the opposite equation, as in the earlier films.

		Thanks to the intellectual experiences of his youth, Cohl gave free rein to his imagination and made films in which critics have discerned the influence of cubism, but also the premises of Dadaism and Surrealism.

	Louis Feuillade
		A maker of short films from 1906, Feuillade is today remembered for the set of serial thrillers he directed around the time of World War I. Fantomas, Les Vampires and Judex - all studies of criminal gangs plotting sedition and anarchy in France - spread convoluted, chaotic narratives over their many episodes.
		Feuillade's technique is in fact archaic, especially in its editing, but there's some truth to the claim that if Griffith pioneered the technique of narrative cinema, Feuillade pioneered its most abiding themes.
		Lang, Hitchcock and the whole tradition of the thriller movie are rooted in Feuillade's unpredictable, sinister world.
