Max Linder was one of the first, if not the first cinematic actor. "The difference from Leander Dida and others - wrote cinema L. Trauberg - was that in the most difficult situation the actor did not try to portray an idiot, did not allow all kinds of subjects to reach the first plan. It was a great skill - the ability in the most unlikely situations to save the image, to respond with restraint, for example, even - a thin, not grimace. "
At the end of 1910 on the grands boulevards were opened movie "Max Linder", where almost every week were the premiere of his new paintings. When Max is seriously ill, the whole Paris kept its temperature.
For ten years, before the First World War, it produces about five hundred (!) Ten short comedies, and writes the scripts and rezhissiruet predominantly himself. His characters - a student, thief, boxer, flutist, hypnotist, duellist, farmer, teacher of dance, jockey, chef, doctor, spy, and even toreador and aeronaut! Subjects Leander′s films are no different variety (otherwise could not: every week for almost five years, appeared a new band). Everything boils down to the marriage or premarital scrape.

Critics point out that from the film to the film art of Max Leander growing. His body language is becoming increasingly constrained, all the thinner. Since the natural sense of rhythm and action, he distributes the funny places throughout the film, nagnetaya their force to the final, beautifully peremezhaya their breaks, titles, information personnel. The actor knows the force of a major plan and details. Can smile one eye, make the desired object - a purse, a bottle, платочек, flower. Near the humor in his films is satire. Antra clown, acrobatic numbers Max is doing with the unique elegance. And laughter is the fact that puts these tricks in everyday life.
In Germany, in Spain, in Russia Linder embodies the ideal Frenchman. Elegant, witty, non-permanent. He is sent to overseas tours.
In July 1912 Linder was in Berlin, where the time to remove the four films. In September, together with a ballerina Naperkovskoy he toured in Barcelona, where fighting with the bulls. And his duel, perpetuating in the movie "Max-toreador, forcing nicker, dismayed and even faint.

In 1916 he was demobilized on unfitness and for a long time treated in the sanatorium "CHATEL Gyuyon.
During the war the French lost kinokomediya leader. The palm turned to the Americans, the Maku Sennetu and his disciples.
