À quoi s’attendre
The production spans a change in exhibition practice: live accompaniment at the first roadshow engagements, then a recorded Movietone score for general release in 1928.
Comment aborder le film
Check the presentation’s sound information first. In the Movietone version, listen to how the recorded score accompanies silent performance; a modern accompaniment is a different listening experience. Keep the history of racist stage adaptation visible alongside the technical transition.

A new sound technology does not make an inherited image new or innocent. I listen for the future of cinema while watching the burden of an older performance tradition remain in the frame.
