Greed (1924) – Movie Wallpaper
Posted by Blake on Tuesday, May 27 2008 at 10:00 pm
Like most of the films von Stroheim made during his directorial career, which scarcely lasted a decade, “Greed” is a triumph of ultra-realism. Philosophically, it is witheringly wise in its view of humanity’s capacity for folly; thematically, it represents a still-relevant cautionary tale about the fragility of the American dream.
