D.W. Griffith's INTOLERANCE (1916)
D.W. Griffith's monumental depiction of mankinds inhumanity across the ages is one of the towering achievements in all of cinema. Through intertwined stories set in four epochs of extreme upheaval Christ's Judea, medieval France, ancient Babylon and 1914 America Griffith weaves a tapestry of hypocrisy, bigotry, persecution, damnation and salvation. Originally conceived as a three-reel melodrama, the movie grew over its 18-month production into a massive spectacle; the Babylon sequence alone, with its gargantuan sets and cast of thousands, took four months to film. The only way to fully experience the colossal scale and visionary power of D.W. Griffith's INTOLERANCE is to see it on the big screen! Shown in two parts with one 15-minute intermission.
