About This Movie
The Infidel (1922) is a curious piece from director James Young, exploring the complexities of faith and personal vendettas. Lola Daintry, played by MacDonald, embodies a raw, almost chaotic energy, fueled by betrayal and resentment towards her minister father. The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, punctuated by moments of dark humor and biting satire aimed at organized religion. Pacing is a bit uneven—some scenes linger longer than necessary, but it just adds to the unease. Practical effects are minimal yet effective, grounding the film in a tangible reality. The performances carry a weight that feels authentic, especially as Lola grapples with her identity. It’s definitely a unique watch, unlike many other films of its time.
