“It is still possible to feel the power of the film and of Brando and Kazan, who changed American movie acting forever.”
– Roger Ebert

“It is one of the most powerful American movies of the 50s, and few movies caused so much talk, excitement, and dissension – largely because of Marlon Brando's performance as the inarticulate, instinctively alienated bum, Terry Malloy.”
– Pauline Kael, 5001 Nights at the Movies

On the Waterfront brought together a combination of extraordinary talents and this is undoubtedly one of the reasons why it is so contradictory and so powerful. The film exudes an energy in which raw realism, theatricality and a distant, dream-like atmosphere pull in different directions. At the same time, it is also a hard-hitting film of the outside world in which the power of the real New York waterfronts upsets any trace of a theatrical structure.”
– Peter von Bagh, Il Cinema Ritrovato

“Indisputably one of the great American films, its power undiminished.”
– Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

“Marlon Brando's performance in On the Waterfront is arguably the most influential acting performance of all time. Generations of actors would be inspired by his performance /…/.”
– Al Weisel, Defining Moments in Movies: The Greatest Films, Stars, Scenes, and Events that Made Movie Magic.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
