4/10
Silent suspense

"Die Straße" or "The Street" is a German-language black-and-white silent film from 1923, so not that long anymore until it has its 100th anniversary. The writer and director is the Austrian-born Karl Grune and it is maybe his most famous work. At 75 minutes, it is shorter than many of the other (occasionally very long) German silent films. The biggest name in the cast is certainly Max Schreck, even if he does not play the main character in here. I personally am not too much a fan of the genre, but this little movie here had a good moment or two sometimes and it stayed fairly essential because of the small runtime. Nonetheless overall, I did not have too much of a great viewing performance and that's why I do not recommend it. Still, if that time and genre is something you like, you can still check it out as my dislike is mostly subjective here.
