(1927) Directed by Karl Brown. Helen Mundy, Forrest James, Reb Grogan. (70 min.) 35mm print from MoMA. Silent film with live music by Nathan Shirley.
Filmed on location in western North Carolina with a largely amateur cast, Stark Love provides a documentary window into rural life of a century ago. A rough mountain man works his wife to death, and compels a neighbor girl to take her place, while his son seethes with outrage and desire.
“One of the little-known masterpieces of American film” (J. W. Williamson in Hillbillyland).
Winter Films 2017
Our films are piquantly peripatetic this season, celebrating Ingrid Bergman’s 100th birthday, reflecting NCMA exhibitions on Elizabethan portraiture and Ansel Adams landscapes, transporting us to the North Carolina mountains of the early 20th century, and basking in the forbidden lust and corruption of midcentury Mexican noir.
