Accident

Ernő Metzner, Germany, 1928. A short city nightmare: a timid man (Gustav Fröhlich in some prints; the Commons file credits the Metzner company) wanders into a street brawl and a sexual panic he cannot parse. Twenty-one minutes, silent, with hard cuts and off-kilter framings that later critics filed under Weimar street film. The Commons webm is the complete short.
