After a rather dry first half of the year, some very good silent films have made their way to region one this month. Milestone has released two very interesting discs that will surely appeal to fans of early cinema. Beyond the Rocks is a film that was thought lost for decades and is the only pairing of Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino in a film. This disc also has a bonus feature, The Delicious Little Devil staring Mae Murray and featuring Rudolph Valentino in a supporting role. Their second release is Electric Edwardians, a collection of street scenes in Britain from before the first World War. The disc is a unique window into a forgotten past. Kino also has a pair of releases, two wonderful German Expressionist films from the end of the silent era; Warning Shadows and Asphalt. In case you missed them, be sure to check out our columns on other German cinema including The Fritz Lang Epic Collection and Leni Riefenstahl in The White Hell of Pitz Palu.
