Abstract

"The Tenth Legion" is a film by Warren Sonbert that was thought to be lost but was discovered after his death. The film follows the daily lives of young protagonists, showing both their work and leisure activities. Sonbert creates a narrative structure through the repetition of daily events and pop songs on the soundtrack. The film explores themes of ambition and youth, ending with Frank Sinatra's song "Young at Heart." Sonbert's films are known for their recognizable style and focus on little moments that may seem ordinary but hold significance. [Extracted from the article]
