À propos de ce film
Michael is a 1924 German silent drama film directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer, director of other notable silents such as The Passion of Joan of Arc, Master of the House, and Leaves from Satan's Book. The film stars Walter Slezak as the titular Michael, the young assistant and model to the artist Claude Zoret. Along with Different From the Others and Sex in Chains, Michael is widely considered a landmark in gay silent cinema.
The film is based on Herman Bang's 1902 novel Mikaël. It is the second screen adaptation of the book, the first being The Wings, made eight years prior by director Mauritz Stiller. Michael, however, follows Bang's storyline much more closely than the earlier film version did.
