What The Street Is About
A middle-aged man, worn down by a dull marriage and an even duller routine, throws himself out into the night. Karl Grune films the city not as a real place but as a nightmare assembled from warped perspectives and threatening shadows, with Karl Hasselmann’s camera turning Berlin into a labyrinth. None of the characters is given a name; they are the Husband, the Blind Man, the Woman. Though the film descends from the chamber-play tradition rather than from expressionism proper, it was written into the expressionist canon anyway, and it set the template for every street film that followed. Max Schreck, Nosferatu’s Count Orlok, plays the blind man.
