Country:France

Director:Albert Capellani

Summary:

This is one of film master Albert Capellani’s earliest excursions into the realm of the fantastic. Here he provides us with his concise version of the legend of Aladdin and his magic lamp: Aladdin finds a magic lamp which brings him wealth, luxury, and marriage to a princess. But his rival, an evil magician, steals the lamp for himself. At last, Aladdin must regain the lamp or lose everything. Capellani’s film is lush with his imaginative and luxurious images made even more scintillating by the hand tinted colour which gives the work an even more evocative and phantom character.
