The Discreet Insensitivity of ‘Slumberland’
The cultural insensitivity of 'Slumberland' is discreet, and can be easily overlooked in CGI extravaganza.
The Marionettes (1918)
Fernande de Ferney, a young French girl, has spent her time between the convent and the country home of her uncle, where she has learned to passionately love Roger, the son of the Marquise de Monclars. He marries her for her fortune, but does not value what he has so lightly won until she profits by the lesson taught in the little marionette play written by their friend, Nizerolles, and finds that men are much like marionettes.
