The Birth of a Nation - Special Edition [Blu-ray] Reviews

D.W. Griffith's silent classic The Birth of a Nation is simultaneously one of the most highly regarded and most deeply reviled films in the history of cinema. As this wonderful Blu-ray presentation from Kino Lorber makes clear, the film is deserving of both the praise and the revulsion. From a cinematic standpoint, it is a landmark epic which forever changed the motion picture industry. At the same time it is one of the most offensive, racist and historically dubious films ever made - in effect, a paean to the Ku Klux Klan. For all its faults, it is essential viewing for any serious student of film. Read the full The Birth of a Nation Blu-ray review and tell us what you think.
