Filibus

a film by Mario Roncoroni

It’s been a while since I watched a film that old. A delightful silent — but not exactly black-and-white, as many scenes were toned — proto-steampunk adventure movie starring Valeria Creti as a cross-dressing (and potentially non-binary) Baroness Troixmonde/Count de la Brive/Filibus and Giovanni Spano as an esteemed but easily sedatable Detective Kutt-Hendy. The special effects which were not impressing anyone already in 1915 now only add to the charm.
