Cinema's First Nasty Women (1898 - 1926)
4-Disc Collection

This four-disc set showcase more than fourteen hours of rarely-seen silent films about feminist protest, slapstick rebellion, and suggestive gender play. These women organize labor strikes, bake (and weaponize) inedible desserts, explode out of chimneys, electrocute the police force, and assume a range of identities that gleefully dismantle traditional gender norms and sexual constraints. The films span a variety of genres including slapstick comedy, genteel farce, the trick film, cowboy melodrama, and adventure thriller. Cinema’s First Nasty Women includes 99 European and American silent films, produced from 1898 to 1926, sourced from thirteen international film archives and libraries, with all-new musical scores, video introductions, commentary tracks, and a lavishly illustrated booklet (Blu-ray only). Curated by Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak, and Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi, and produced for video by Bret Wood, Cinema’s First Nasty Women is a partnership of Kino Lorber, Le Giornate del Cinema Muto, Women Film Pioneers Project, Eye Filmmuseum, FIC-Silente, and Carleton University.

Special features:
*“What Is a Nasty Woman?” - Video introduction to the collection, featuring series curators Laura Horak, Maggie Hennefeld, Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi, and music supervisor Dana Reason

*Eleven short documentaries focused on specific films and performers, including interviews with Liza Black, Thirza Cuthand, Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak, Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi, Dana Reason, Arigon Starr, Susan Stryker, and Kyla Wazana Tompkins

*120-page booklet with essays, interviews, photos, and detailed film notes (print copies only available in the Blu-ray Deluxe First Edition; DVD and subsequent Blu-ray editions will feature a QR code for the full booklet contents online)

*Audio commentaries for select films by: Jennifer Bean (University of Washington), Liza Black, Enrique Moreno Ceballos (Festival Internacional de Cine Silente México), Liz Clarke (Brock University), Bryony Dixon (British Film Institute), Jane Gaines (Columbia University), Rosa María Licea Garibay (Festival Internacional de Cine Silente México), Joanna Hearne (University of Oklahoma), Maggie Hennefeld (University of Minnesota), Laura Horak (Carleton University), Pamela Hutchinson (Silent London), Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi (Eye Filmmuseum), Mariann Lewinsky (Cineteca di Bologna), Katharina Loew (University of Massachusetts Boston), Cecilia Ramírez Morales (Festival Internacional de Cine Silente México), Ana Belén Recoder (Festival Internacional de Cine Silente México), Lluvia Soto Rodríguez (Festival Internacional de Cine Silente México), Aurore Spiers, Shelley Stamp (University of California, Santa Cruz), Alejandra Calleja Toxqui (Festival Internacional de Cine Silente México), Kristen Anderson Wagner (University of Southern California), Laetitia Vigneron (Festival Internacional de Cine Silente México), and Yiman Wang (University of California, Santa Cruz)

It’s great that Kino is delving further into our cinematic heritage, but given the specific contemporary associations, I think tbey could have found a better title.

 

[dana martin]

It’s great that Kino is delving further into our cinematic heritage, but given the specific contemporary associations, I think tbey could have found a better title.

Defiantly ok with that title as it is meant to represent irreverent women at the time the silents were made, but more importantly this is MASSIVE, 99 silents released in a comprehensive set, 120-page booklet with essays, interviews, photos, and detailed film notes. How many other companies would be willing to do something like this?

once again, amazed and impressed at Kino going where others fear to tread, and Cinephiles are better off for that.

 

[Suzanne.S]

It’s great that Kino is delving further into our cinematic heritage, but given the specific contemporary associations, I think tbey could have found a better title.

That's the whole point. The contemporary association is that if a woman is assertive and successful some men consider them "nasty". The women represented in this collection were successful, innovative and in positions of power. When the film industry proved to be profitable, they were pushed out. Not only were they out of the industry, they were written out of the histories and often men took credit for their accomplishments. It is a perfect title.

A question for the KLI

Is the Dr. Goldfoot double feature release still coming out? I notice it is no longer listed in the Coming Soon section (nor is it listed in any of the future scheduled releases).

[Kino Lorber Insider]

Are these re-issues of the previous discs released or are they gonna have English subtitles this time?

The Vincent Price ones, yes.

The 3-D ones, no.

The 3-D re-authoring and replication fees would be too high, so we either re-release the previously released discs or not at all.

HE WHO MUST DIE (1957)
• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian/Filmmaker Daniel Kremer
• Theatrical Trailer
• In French with Optional English Subtitles

B&W 128 Minutes 2.35:1 Not Rated
Set in a Turkish-occupied Greek village shortly after World War I, Jules Dassin’s stunning He Who Must Die tells the story of the townspeople’s efforts to stage their Passion Play, an event that occurs once every seven years. The leading citizens choose who will play the parts: a stuttering young shepherd is chosen as Jesus; the town butcher as Judas; the town prostitute as Mary Magdalene. But as the movie unfolds, the Passion becomes a reality, and the villagers actualize their biblical roles against the tragic backdrop of a country uprooted by war and poverty. Adapted from author Nikos Kazantzakis (Zorba the Greek, The Last Temptation of Christ) by the world-renowned Jules Dassin, the director of Rififi, Never on Sunday and Topkapi, this powerful film asks: What would happen if Jesus came down to Earth a second time? The extraordinary international cast includes Melina Mercouri, Pierre Vaneck, Jean Servais, Carl Möhner, Grégoire Aslan, Gert Fröbe, René Lefèvre, Roger Hanin, Nicole Berger, Maurice Ronet and Fernand Ledoux.
