Review of The Bridge

The Bridge (1929)
10/10
Pure film.
3 November 2021
While not genre, this silent rendition of "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" (Ambrose Bierce), expertly directed by Charles Vidor, trims the edges by focusing on the escape fantasies of a spy about to be hanged from a bridge.

I give this high marks for the artistry of the camera-work, and the interest that builds and maintains over the entirety. Yes, I know it's only 10 minutes but sometimes I get antsier for the end of shorts than features! It's very vivid and passionate.
