william d @acsdoug 11/29/2022 Superb silent film. The story is good, told in almost surrealistic yet still intelligible way, the cinematography and direction are excellent, and Betty Amann is gorgeous.

See more 01/06/2013 A wonderful German silent movie that draws inspiration from the popular key cinematic movements of the time like German expressionism and the city symphony films. Asphalt is also perhaps the earliest most complete specimen of the film noir genre. The simple plot of the cop falling in love with a femme fatale jewel thief is turned into something special by majestic photography and daring sexual undertones that are particularly effective in the sequences in which the temptress desperately tries to seduce the right doing cop. An underrated gem that needs to be discovered again. See more 10/02/2012 A really enjoyable late German silent that seems to anticipate films like "M" and "Three Penny Opera" with it's street scene set design. A one hit wonder that is worth revisiting.
