Um Filme de 1913 sobre Wagner

Há um biopic de 1913 sobre Richard Wagner....
A realização é de Carl Froelich, o argumento deWilliam Wauer e os
intérpretes são Giuseppe Becce, Olga Engl e Manny Ziener.

«Now an earlier biopic - and one of the earliest of the genre - has emerged and was shown on Monday at the National Film Theatre: Richard Wagner, made in 1913. Wagner was played by Giuseppe Becce, himself a minor composer (who also provided the score, played live on the first showings), and the film was directed by Carl Froelich and William Wauer. Film grammar was still being developed when the film was made, and it follows the then usual practice of preceding each scene with a subtitle explaining what is to follow: the scenes are shot in long sections with a static camera and minimal, or sometimes no, cutting (and no dialogue subtitles): this makes it look a bit wooden to modern eyes, but it is well staged and constructed - and for the most part free of the over-acting common to many early films.»

Há dois links que falam sumariamente do assunto, mas vale a pena ler.
