Sarah Bernhardt at Home
View through CrossRef
This chapter analyzes Sarah Bernhardt at Home to show how Sarah Bernhardt, by exploring the different spaces that together represent “the home,” reveals her home's expansive horizons. It asks what it is we are seeing when we watch Sarah Bernhardt at Home by tackling a number of questions, for example, why Bernhardt made a film that had little or nothing to do with her famous theatrical roles. The focus is on what we can see on the film today: the different places, activities, and people that constitute Bernhardt “at home.” The chapter first looks at Hecla Films, which produced Sarah Bernhardt at Home, during the period 1912–1915 before explaining how the film provides a significant insight into the way that art nouveau entered and shaped the home at the opening of the twentieth century. It also considers how Bernhardt recontextualizes familiar paintings in Sarah Bernhardt at Home in order to fashion new visual meanings for us.
