The very best period film dramas
Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
