Asquith's style reaches its own "highly charged" apogee of externalizing the characters' emotions. Go to Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) 10/03/2017
Underground is a witty, highly imaginative piece of film-making by a director now largely regarded as an efficient craftsman. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/30/2015 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 See more Read all reviews
