The Wind (1928) - ★★★★★

Director: Victor Sjostrom
Writers: Dorothy Scarborough (Novel), Frances Marion (Scenario)
Stars: Lillian Gish, Lars Hanson, Montagu Love, Dorothy Cumming

The Wind is my favourite silent film of all time. It is quite simply one of the greatest achievements in the history of visual storytelling. The cinematography blew me away and the acting by Lillian Gish proves why she was a queen of the silent era. At only 95 minutes long, it's no wonder I was completely blown away throughout the entire film.
