Pamela Hutchinson Silent London The story of Underground may be simple, but its treatment is unexpectedly dark, stylized, and violent Mar 26, 2020 Full Review Michael Barrett PopMatters Asquith's style reaches its own "highly charged" apogee of externalizing the characters' emotions. Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) Underground is a witty, highly imaginative piece of film-making by a director now largely regarded as an efficient craftsman.

Audience Member A silent film of British director Anthony Asquith, recently has been restored by BFI, it is his second feature made at the age of 26, and he would later bring us many important play-adaptation classics like PYGMALION (1938), THE BROWNING VERSION (1951) and THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST (1952), although UNDERGROUND is a creation out of his own wit, this incipient piece cogently concretises his astonishing cinematic aesthetics, particularly Stanley Rodwell's majestically composed cinematography and the slick final action stunts. keep reading my review on my blog: http://wp.me/p1eXom-1QI Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
