NEW ROMANTIC INFLUENCES: SILENT FILM

The New Romantic movement was influenced by the English romantic period, Russian Constructivism,  French Incroyables and 1930s Cabaret. Taking inspiration from early silent films. Looking back on early films you realise how beautiful they are and how artistic even without all the fancy technology we have today. I couldn't really find many New Romantic films, but I did find some amazing silent movies which showcased some creative costumes.

The Haunted Castle (Le Manoir du Diable) 1896



A Trip to the Moon (Le Voyage dans la Lune) 1902



The Mermaid (La Sirène) 1904



The Dancing Pig (Le Cochon Danseur) 1907



Metropolis 1927



Alice in Wonderland 1903



The Infernal Cakewalk 1903
