The Red Mark
Synopsis
A pickpocket has finally earned his release from the South Seas penal colony ruled with calculated cruelty by Monsieur De Nou, but Bibi Ri won’t return to Paris without his girl. When De Nou, known for dispatching all problems via guillotine, claims her as his own, only one terrible outcome seems possible. Stunning photography, potent compositions, and a chilling performance by Gustav von Seyffertitz as the mercilessly corrupt governor make this recently restored jewel a must-see—even before the dramatic plot twist.
