L'Atlantide
Adaptation Cinegraphique du Roman de Pierre Benoit - Réalisée par Jacques Feyder (Cinematographic adaptation of the novel by Pierre Benoit directed by Jacques Feyder)
Plot: Two French officers lost in the Sahara desert discover the legendary lost kingdom of Atlantis, ruled by the ageless and mysterious Queen Antinéa. They become her captives and lovers, who are then embalmed in gold once she tires of them.
Significance: The film was one of the first major motion pictures of the "colonial cinema" genre, noted for its extensive on-location filming in the Algerian Sahara desert, which was a risky and unprecedented move at the time. The poster artist, Manuel Orazi, also designed the film's lavish sets and costumes.
