About This Movie
In the Days of Famine is a gripping 1915 drama directed by Theodore Marston that immerses you in a bleak and haunting atmosphere. The story follows Jan De Bar, a young French-Canadian, as he faces the grim reality of burning plague-ridden cabins. There's a certain tension in the pacing - it unfolds with a deliberate slowness, allowing the weight of the tragedy to settle in. The practical effects, particularly the depiction of smallpox’s aftermath, are striking for their time. The performance of the child actress portraying Jeanette is particularly poignant, capturing both innocence and resilience. It's a film that leaves you with a lingering sense of loss and the harshness of survival amidst despair.
