Karie Bible did not come to Hollywood Forever Cemetery looking for a job. She came looking for history—and found a calling. Long before she ever guided her first tour, her life had already been shaped by a love of the past. “I fell in love with the Universal horror movies of the 1930s,” she sa...

My latest review explores Silent Life, the haunting and unconventional meditation on Rudolph Valentino’s final hours and the enduring mythology of silent Hollywood.

Vladislav Kozlov’s Silent Life: The Rudolph Valentino Centennial Final Cut is not your typical Valentino biopic, nor does it aim to be one.
