City Girl, USA, 1930 | F.W. Murnau | English intertitles | Duration: 89 min | Format: digital | Cast: Charles Farrell, Mary Duncan, David Torrence, Edith Yorke, Guinn Williams.
► Piano accompaniment by Pierre Boespflug.
A waitress from Chicago falls in love with a farmer from Minnesota and decides to live in the countryside.
"The strengths of Murnau’s films often lie in the details, the representation and conveyance of emotion, the expressive and minimalist use of intertitles, the discrete complication of structural polarities, and the extraordinary play of light and dark across expressive interior and exterior landscapes. 'City Girl', both an archaic and visionary work of the late silent cinema, reiterates and reinvigorates these qualities." (Senses of Cinema)
