This short silent film would appear at first sight to be a purely formal study into form and motion. Filmed from the same angle, the portraits of car drivers appear on screen in rapid succession. The sun is low on the horizon and the lighting of all those lonely drivers is of an unreal beauty. The powerfully repeating shot has in the end a social implication. The boundless individualism of the lonesome rider and the myth of the melting pot are united in the same shot. Stefan Grissemann (Die Presse) described the film as ‘a series of melancholy detail shots’ and called Sunset Boulevard a masterpiece.
