Georges Franju's Judex is an arch, playful tribute to the serials of the influential silent filmmaker Louis Feuillade. Franju shuffles through the plot of Feuillade's lengthy serial of the same name, about an adventurer named Judex (Channing Pollock) whose revenge against the corrupt banker Favraux (Michel Vitold) unleashes a complicated series of schemes.
A charmingly old-fashioned adventure. Its playful tone and stylish visuals evoke a bygone era of cinematic thrills, offering a suspenseful yet lighthearted journey through intricate plots and unexpected twists.
