Product Information
With his third version of THE GOLEM, director, writer, and actor Paul Wegener is credited with creating the first horror movie series, and historians consider THE GOLEM AND THE DANCER (his 1917 follow-up to the 1914 original) to be the first sequel in cinema history. Based on a legend in Jewish mysticism, in 16th-century Prague community leader and astrologer Rabbi Loew (Albert Steinrück) foresees doom for the Jews. When the emperor decrees a pogrom of the Jewish ghetto, Loew molds a forbidding clay golem (Wegener) to save his people. Loew invokes a demon spirit to retrieve a magic word that he places in an amulet on the creature's chest. Once the word is positioned, the giant wedge-haired automaton lives. Danger ensues, however, when Loew's assistant, Famulus (Ernst Deutsch), uses the golem to settle a score with Florian (Lothar Müthel), a knight who has stolen his sweetheart, Miriam (Lyda Salmonova). THE GOLEM's influence on future horror films was significant, particularly James Whale's FRANKENSTEIN. Wegener's distorted sets and chiaroscuro lighting, complemented by Karl Freund's expert photography, make the film an excellent example of German Expressionism and an important contribution by German mega studio UFA to the golden age of Weimar cinema.Product Identifiers

The Golem Restored!
The Golem is a German silent film that has been restored to a new beauty. The movie tells the story of a village where the Jews are facing discrimination from the current ruler. Different shades of color are used in the film to heighten the emotional moments. The village rabbi creates a being from clay that originally is supposed to serve as a helper to the rabbi. Unfortunately, one of his other members decides to use this being, the Golem of the title, for his own nefarious purposes. The Germans were known for their creative expressionism in their early films, and the version is beautfilly restored. If you are a silent movie aficionado, I highly recommend this DVD.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
