Xi xiang ji (1927)
Facial expressions are great

This silent movie was my first silent movie and I was fortunate enough to see it in a classical movie theater accompanied by live classic music (Debussy). The movie was played during the China - Amsterdam festival in Amsterdam. I really liked the story and the way it was played. The facial expressions are obvious and humorous (and you don't need 'sub'titles). There are some 'special effects' in the movie which I really enjoyed. I didn't know they could perform such effects in 1927. For me it was a great way to experience Chinese cinema and see a silent movie. Add the classical music and you have a super experience. Great movie, so if you got a chance: go see it.
