The greatest film of all time!
Simply the greatest movie of all time! What happens when Hollywood gives a visionary director carte blanche! Sheer genius! The pinnacle of silent film as an art form and the closest film has ever come to being poetry. Janet Gaynor sublime in an Oscar winning performance. George O'Brien incomparable - an inspired performance that deserved an Oscar! Cinematography and production design revolutionary. Makes you wonder what other cinematic masterpieces Murnau would have created had his life not been cut short. Every human should watch this song of two humans! Note: Czech version has sharper image but many unfortunately abrupt cuts. Best to watch the longer Movietone version.
