Review of Lonesome

Lonesome (1928)
10/10
A unique masterpiece
29 August 2021
One of the last true masterpieces of American silent films (that unfortunately includes tree sound sequences not shot or approved by his director, that break a little the spell). A movie that reminds me of "Sunrise" in its inventiveness (without the direct fantasy element) and that should be regarded as a cinema classic, but is still quite unknown today. A mix of a humanistic story with a documentary feeling and a bravado camera work; it's a truly unique piece of cinema.
