The Golem(Der Golem)
Paul Wegener, Carl Boese
Germany, 1920 Digital Restoration
Paul Wegener, Albert Steinrück, Lyda Salmonova, Ernst Deutsch, This visually astounding retelling of the Golem myth was inventively brought to life through the collaboration of codirector/actor Paul Wegener, set designer Hans Poelzig, and gifted cinematographer Karl Freund (The Last Laugh; Metropolis), whose work here is some of his best. In medieval Prague, a rabbi creates a monster to protect his people from destruction, but the monster, of course, soon answers only to his own call. A precursor of James Whale’s 1931 Frankenstein, whose visuals owe much to Freund’s, The Golem is a landmark of German Expressionism and early horror. Jason Sanders_old FILM DETAILSScreenwriter
