The Wind

"The wind" was the second silent movie I had seen just after "Metropolis" ,along time ago when I saw it again last week,I was not sure I would be so enthused over it.And I was wrong.

Effectively understated acting and highly atmospheric. A VERY good movie.

Good luck trying to stay awake during this dazzlingly dull slasher from the one man Greek film industry that was Nico Masterakis (best known for the outrageously offensive Island Of Death). It sees a novelist (Meg Foster), traveling to the Greek island of Monemvasia where she ends up playing a game of cat and mouse with a psychopathic handyman (Wings Hauser armed with a scythe), whilst a gale force wind rages throughout the night.

Directed by Emma Tammi. Starring Caitlin Gerard, Julia Goldani Telles, Ashley Zukerman, Dylan McTee, Miles Anderson.

I have fond memories of 'The Wind' watching it as a teenager. Having seen it now, though, I have mixed feelings - mainly due to the anti-climax ending.

Storyline is interesting and the play out of the movie keeps you interested but in the end , you have no answers! I mean what the hell?!

A very sweet Ms. Lillian Gish explains in her introduction of the film for TCM that, then at the apex of her Hollywood career at MGM, she picked the project because it was all about motion.

His American period was not a great commercial success for director Sjöström (in America he called himself Seastrom). Nevertheless artisticly this is a great film.
