Title：Asphalt Year：1929 Rated：Not Rated Genre：Crime / Drama / Romance Language：None / German Country：Germany Director：Joe May Writer：Joe May / Hans Székely / Rolf E. Vanloo Actors：Albert Steinrück / Else Heller / Gustav Fröhlich Plot：Joe May's sensual drama of life in the Berlin underworld is in many ways the perfect summation of German filmmaking in the silent era: a dazzling visual style, a psychological approach to its characters, and the ability to take a simple and essentially melodramatic story and turn it into something more complex and inherently cinematic.
