Lonesome, Paul Fejos's exquisite, poetic 1928 masterpiece about love and estrangement in the big city, deserves to be ranked with The Crowd as well as Sunrise, though it's not nearly as well-known as either.

Rotten

Dr Fejos has paid more attention to his interesting dissolves and double exposures than he has to the characterization of his story.
