| User ReviewAndrey BA fine example of German expressionism that was flourishing in those days. This movie is visually arresting with striking images and set pieces, though highly influenced by Dr. Caligari, of course. |
| User ReviewMichael TA wonderful example of German expressionism. |
| User ReviewZack MI had the privilege of watching this with the accompaniment of the Alloy orchestra. It was an unforgettable experience with this astonishingly stylized German silent film. There isn't much else to say other than if you get the chance you should jump at it to experience this. |
| User ReviewPablo RAn expressionist experiment fashioned after Georg Kaiser's Play of that tittle and reportedly shown in no country other than Japan. A teller, who is in his desire to exchange everyday life for something great and beautiful wastes the money of his bank on prostitutes and in night-clubs, and at the end, disappointed, kills himself to scape the police. |
