Faces of Children (1925)



Pathé
Directed by Jacques Feyder
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Home Vision Entertainment)

A young boy struggles to get over the death of his mother. When his father remarries, he fights with his new stepsister. It gets so bad that he sends her out in the middle of the night in search of a doll. She gets caught in an avalanche and has to be rescued. Rocked with guilt and believing the whole family hates him, he tries to commit suicide by jumping in a stream. Don't worry, there is a happy ending. Swiss mountain locations are the main appeal of this rather predictable and overlong family drama full of religious overtones.
