The Heart and the Money(Movie, 1912)

The Heart and the Money (French: Le Cœur et l'Argent) is a 1912 film directed by Louis Feuillade and Léonce Perret. Early filmmaker Louis Feuillade’s most well known works focus on crime serials. When Feuillade and Léonce Perret decided to work together, Perret introduced his co-director to a new style of filming. Visually, The Heart and the Money presents a different aesthetic, such as shooting on location, to the time period. The techniques the directors used, such as on-location shooting, split screens, and sense of storytelling, were employed way before their time to portray a gripping and saddening melodrama. ()
