Abstract

The following article is devoted to the screen images of violence in the silent cinema of 1900-1920. The author compares the aesthetics of early costume dramas, screen biographies of Jesus Christ and films about the First World war - and detects shared visual motifs and methods of narration. The reflection on violence turns out to be an important component of the cinema language formation.
