THE GOLEM: HOW HE CAME TO LIFE (Der Golem, Wie Er in die Welt Kam) (1920) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Carl Boese, Paul Wegener

Written by - Henrik Galeen, Paul Wegener

Starring - Paul Wegener, Albert Steinruck, Lyda Salmonova

"Wegener’s third vision of The Golem is also the most memorable; this one looks at how a group of Jews bring him into the world to protect them from the doom that their emperor wishes upon them. The German expressionist style lends itself very well to this creature feature, and its formula is believed to have been ver yinfluential. The plot is also curiously prophetic."
