Curiosidades

Le Double Amour is a 1925 French melodrama film directed by Jean Epstein and produced by the Films Albatros production company.

Production and reception

This is the third film, after The Lion of the Moguls and L'Affiche (fr), directed by Jean Epstein for Films Albatros. While this gave him access to the important financial means of the Russian Cinema School of Paris, it imposed on him to give a more commercial nature to his films.

The dresses for Nathalie Lissenko ware supplied by the great fashion designer Paul Poiret and indoor scenes were shot at the Albatros studios in Montreuil with spectacular Art Deco sets designed by Pierre Kéfer.

Outdoor scenes were shot mostly on location in Cannes.

While the film was a success at the box office, some of the critics regretted that Epstein was moving away from the Avant-garde style shown in his earlier films such as Cœur fidèle. Henri Langlois on the other hand wrote: "You only need to screen one reel of Faithful Heart and one reel of Double Love to realize Epstein's progress.
