Synopsis:

No German review yet:
The Red Lantern tells the story of a Eurasian, Joan of Arc-like heroine, set against the background of China's 1900 Boxer Rebellion. The film was an instant success, thanks to an unprecedented advertising campaign and the star qualities of diva Alla Nazimova. Both aspects are extensively discussed in this publication. In the book, essays sketch the historical outline of the Boxer Rebellion, while special features on the DVD include early cinematic actualities that evoke the way in which the Boxer Rebellion was portrayed in the Western media around the turn of the century, true to the myth of the 'Yellow Peril'. Popular photo and theatre plays of the day thrived on Oriental stereotypes and relied heavily upon exotic set designs and costumes. Famous actors of European descent, wearing 'yellow face' makeup explored the exciting dangers of interracial love. Extras on the DVD tentatively reconstruct a Chinese programme from the time of the film's premiere and show how 'authentic' portrayals of Chinese life were combined with cartoons and Oriental musical fantasies. Many contemporary film reviewers saw The Red Lantern as a film marked with the 'stamp of historical and ethnological authenticity', thanks to Nazimova's mastery of the art of metamorphosis. The different emotions that Nazimova's face and eyes could express became legendary in trade magazines and were documented in newsreels, included in the extras, which were shown in cinemas all over the world.
