Review of Scarlet Street (1945) by Stephen E — 20 Aug 2012
Melodrama at it's best. Fritz Lang is officially one of my favorite directors. My eyes where glued to the screen the entire time. What I really liked about the acting was the over the top emotion the characters gave.
I guess it was okay to overact considering that this film features situations in which people would get emotional. I really liked the direction. I have noticed that I prefer direction style of the classics.
I preferred the way the handled the camera back then. This featured some good production values. The think I really like about film noir is the art direction. Especially the costume design. Especially the costumes for the women.
The best part about this is the writing. Very well thought out story. It was totally unpredictable. This is officially one of my favorites.
