About Tragedy of the Street
Auguste is an aging prostitute who falls in love with Felix, a younger student. While Felix has strayed away from his parents, Auguste starts taking care of him and spends her life savings into a cake shop to move further away from prostitution, but trouble comes when another woman enters the picture.
Directed by Bruno Rahn, Tragedy of the Street leans on a strong ensemble — Asta Nielsen, Hilde Jennings, Oskar Homolka — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1927.
