This revolutionary picture from 1923 inspired filmmakers as different as Jean Cocteau, G.W. Pabst, and Akira Kurosawa. LA ROUE centers on the love triangle with a father and son who love the same woman, but the element that adds even more depth to this silent film is that the woman is their adopted daughter and sister. Abel Gance (NAPOLEON) directs this film that features a new score from composer Robert Israel.
