I don't think there was another director in silent Hollywood whose style was so immediately recognizable as von Stroheim's; the novelistic wealth of narrative detail, the grotesque elements around the edges of the diegesis complicating the simplistic wish-fulfilment/escapism that more straightforward entertainers aimed for, the associative-editing choices based on an idiosyncratic sense of what might be interesting or important at any give time... Erich von S and no-one else. 2 years 10 months ago -

Von Stroheim was undoubtedly one of the most interesting personas of the silent film. But, of course, Greed is way much better. 12 years 7 months ago
