Classics of German Cinema Collection

Film Description

Five classic films from the Weimar era of German cinema, a groundbreaking period of creativity which extends its influence into the present day. Comprises:

Der Golem (1920), Paul Wegener and Carl Boese's adaptation of the Yiddish folktale of a towering clay monster, corrupted by evil and redeemed by the power of the human soul.

Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920), Robert Wiene's nightmarish story of mesmerism, sleepwalking and murder, which perhaps single-handedly galvanised the Expressionist movement of silent cinema.

Asphalt (1929), Joe May's exposure of the sordid world that lay within Weimar's heart of darkness, featuring Berry Amann, the greatest siren unsung of the early silver screen.

The Blue Angel (1930), Josef von Sternberg's tale of a mild manner professor sucked into the world of a licentious cabaret artist introduced the world to an immortal legend - Marlene Dietrich.

Munchausen (1943), Josef von Baky's AGFA-hued masterpiece, epitomised the new, state sanctioned, German epic. Vivid and imaginative, it has inspired generations of fantasy film-makers.
