Lillian Gish (1983)

A documentary film about a great actress (Lillian Gish) produced and directed by another great actress (Jeanne Moreau). Moreau interviews Gish at her home about her beginnings as an actress and her work in silent cinema with the legendary director D.W. Griffith as well as her other silent films. Gish was around 88 years old at the time of filming but she's sharp as a tack and a lively conversationalist. Moreau makes for a good interviewer but the film is short (about an hour) and there's so much more we want to know about Gish. The film doesn't extend to her post silent career but there's still so much unsaid about her silent career and outside of her work with Griffith. We want more! If you're interested in silent cinema or the great Gish, this is a must.
