andrey k The love of Soviet culture and its influence on German screen is obvious watching these late 20's German movies. The story by Ilya Ehrenburg is very impressive and suspenseful, even though it is said to be heavily edited for the screen. Realism blends with melodrama and is seasoned with detective elements. The movie is an attempt to create a popular type of film, unconventional to the German screen, which was wide spread then in the West. The attempt was successful: the film is riveting and pleasant to watch, with excellent acting, especially the blind girl (Bridgitte Helm) and the villain Khalibiev. The film also tries to showcase the diseases of society commonplace then: greediness, suspicion, callousness. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The earlier film by G.W Pabst that he directed before making the masterpiece Pandora's Box staring Louise Brooks. This is a challenging film to watch with heavy cultural themes but the craft of how the film was made & the performances keep you engrossed. I liked the scenes with Jewellery Theft & how they pulled it off..this wouldn't be for everyone but it's an interesting German Film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Pabst exhibits a remarkable control. The editing and staging of the film is top notch. And while the rest can't live quite up to the amazing first 30 minutes, this is still a wonderful movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This romantic mystery thriller is exciting and the actors are really good, I really liked it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Silent melodrama by G.W. Pabst still can be interesting - some scenes make great impression - but it lacks coherence and intensity, that's why could be quite boring and naive for modern audience. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Well-shot melodramatic thriller with several great sequences and a couple memorable performances. Unfortunately, it doesn't really make any sense, and has its share of dull stretches Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
