Early French screen legend, Abel Gance (J'accuse, La Roue, and Napoléon) directs and stars in one of the foundational exploits of disaster cinema.  When scientists discover an asteroid on course to destroy the planet, humanity is consumed by a spectrum fatalistic enterprises.  La Fin Du Monde is an erratic, rapid, and unconditional vision that occupied a startling proximity to the know world of 1931.
