Sidewalk Stories

Charles Lane

I waited 25 years to see this: the first American silent film in decades - preceding The Artist by 20 years.

I'm sorry to say the wait was in vain. Irritating music and cartoonish behavior by hammy actors sunk this like a stone. I wondered why this was so hard to see for so long. Now I know. Too bad. I applaud Lane's ambition and chutzpah...his artistic judgement...not so much.
