The Wind (1928)
Country: US
Technical: bw 95m silent
Director: Victor Sjöstrom
Cast: Lillian Gish, Lars Hanson, Montagu Love
Synopsis:
An eastern girl goes to live with relatives out west, but she is soon forced to find alternative lodging with a man she hardly loves. Happiness seems within reach when a stranger arrives, seeking refuge from the incessant wind.
Review:
One of the last silent masterpieces, this is a harrowing portrait of the main character's descent into madness, brilliantly conveyed by Gish. Meanwhile the melodramatic MGM production piles on the pathetic fallacies, and Sjöstrom's camera catches every nuance in performance with liberal use of close-up.
