Ambitious disaster / sci-fi epic

Billed onscreen as "the first major spectacle of French speaking cinema", "La Fin Du Monde" is hard to judge in its present form (I saw the 90-minute version); edited down by the producers (with a hatchet, it seems like sometimes) from its original 3-hours-plus length, it is often incoherent. For much of its (new) running length, it is also static, talky and melodramatic. But after the comet is finally seen, in the last 20 minutes or so, there are some spectacular sequences and effects, the orgiastic celebrations of life are strangely moving, and Abel Gance's pacifist and humanist message comes across; while his prophecy of a "Universal Republic" seems more utopic now than ever, the one about the "Federal States of Europe" is not far removed from the initial ideals behind the formation of the European Union, a process that didn't begin until two decades (and one more World War) after this film was made. *** out of 4.

Not the best Abel Gance

A comet soon strikes our Earth. How do people react? Some prey, some panic, some wildly booze and have sex in orgies, some continue to search money with fever. Will they find peace? If only we could have seen one day the real integral version of this French science fiction, maybe we could be more satisfied, but the melodramatic interprations doesn't help, nor the poor special effects lacking high budget. A few scenes can be saved, the introduction, the Eiffel tower, the orgy interrupted by religious,... Eternal regrets.
