"Regeneration" (72 min.) is a powerful slum melodrama produced in 1915 on location in the lower east side of New York City, with a gaggle of authentic low-life types performing alongside professional actors. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)
Reseñas (1)
I am quite surprised that during the early days of cinema, people didn't constantly entertain themselves with comedies or fantastic scenes. "Regeneration" is a rather harsh drama that emphasizes death, alcoholism, and even domestic violence in the first few minutes. It's about gangs and it makes me wonder if Martin Scorsese found inspiration for his "Gangs of New York" here. The action scenes truly reminded me of a spectacle by Scorsese - big, moving, and powerful. A large-scale film for its time.
