DVD Reviews of The Joyless Street (1927)
DVD Review: Could have been better
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm glad to see that someone is starting to release more of Garbo's silents. The 3-star rating is mainly for the movie itself and not the actual DVD. I'll give Synergy points for having initiative but this DVD is far from perfect. There is no interactive menu or bonus features. Once you put the DVD in you will see the usual copyright warning and then the movie just starts. Once the movie ends it will automatically restart itself so it's basically just in a continuous loop. The copy of the movie that was used here appears to be the same re-issue edition one from my old VHS copy. Also, there doesn't seem to be any signs of a restoration. Some parts are scratchy and it seems like it was directly transferred from a VHS copy. The only thing about this that's different from the VHS version is that there is a musical score. Don't expect anything on a Carl Davis level though, it's pretty much just classical music, but it's better than nothing. So, once again, it's not perfect, but if you're a Garbo fan it might be worth $9.99 to you.
Description of The Joyless Street (1927)
This early silent classic from director G.W. Pabst (who would go on to make the acclaimed "Pandora's Box" and "Diary of A Lost Street"), follows the desperate lives of people inhabiting a single street in bleak, post-World War I Vienna. Highly-controversial and heavily-censored at the time of its release, the Austrian-made film features Asta Nielsen as a desperate woman forced into prostitution to provide for her family. Warner Krauss stars as the street's domineering butcher, while a young Greta Garbo also features in what is said to have been her personal favorite role; it was also her last before coming to America, where far greater fame awaited her.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
