Griffith?s grand epic depicting intolerance through the ages is truly stunning and remains one of the great film masterpieces. A first an only of its kind, Intolerance?s four separate-but-parallel story structure has been compared to classical music?s Bach fugues. The sets and sheer spectacle of Intolerance still have the power to take one?s breath away. Griffith?s build to a suspenseful finish to all four stories simultaneously is masterful and has never been matched.

Intolerance was Griffith?s answer to those who had accused him of racism in Birth of a Nation.

Astonishing, monstrous. Moving, infuriating. A masterpiece, an abomination. Notably the most influential and infamous film ever made, The Birth of a Nation was praised for its spectacular war scenes, moving performances and technical achievements. However, it provoked great controversy for its treatment of white supremacy and sympathetic account of the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. Southern director Griffith was reportedly dismayed at the accusations of racism, insisting he had made an anti-war film and his portrayals were true and genuine.
