Director
A dangerous water vortex, an unsettling crow that watches and guards the woman, the setting in an abysmal crevasse, violent snowstorms, the anxiety that arises from taking the last train, while the femme fatale mocks the naive young man. Frank Borzage's is a dark love melodrama steeped in horror and gothic. Masterful is the play of glances and expressions that orchestrates the mutual attraction between Good and Evil, between blissful naivety and cruel cynicism, between the impetus (the epic struggle between the woodcutter and nature) of a healthy body and mind and the lethal sensuality of a Mad Femme, languid, dominating, whose erotic charge is trapped between the explicit invitation to possess her without commitment and the grand gesture of love in the warm final embrace of the body. Thanks also to performances that have little affectation and seek spontaneity as much as possible, the viewer is led to love both the shyness and naivety of the young man caught in a trap, and, after an initial moment of fear, the coldness of a woman victim of loneliness and disillusionment, as attractive in her mischievous smiles as she is formidable and ultimately redeemed. Powerful, daring, sweet. Discover the review
