"The Outlaw and His Wife:" a very early silent film, though do NOT expect

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

the ridiculous acting or sentimental crap that already had permeated Hollywood films. This is film as realistic as a Bergman effort, and there's a reason: the male lead, Victor Sjostrom, was the old man in, "Wild Strawberries," and he was the "Outlaw" director, in 1918.
A criminal escapes to the mountains, intent on starting a new life; however, eventually he is recognized and forced to flee with his wife after having lived a lawful second life.
The power of the story, the inevitability, is almost like a Norse legend set in the unforgiving high mountains--- the film actually was set in Iceland and the outdoor scenes aren't FX: what appears dangerous, is!
Acting, editing, cinematography, score--- all absolutely first-rate.
And the actress, the "Wife," is Sjostrom's acting equal, no mean feat.
