Lucky Star

Frank Borzage / US, 1929 / 116 min.

Melodramas build up the audience’s emotions to great heights and are unbelievably theatrical. Frank Borzage, however, took the opposite view: life unfolds in the heightening of it. Cinema Concert screens Borzages much-acclaimed Lucky Star, about the love affair between a World War I veteran and a simple girl.
