Michael M F.W. Murnau's Tartuffe is a technically impressive silent film about moralistic hypocrisy which falls short of the master's greatest films due to a somewhat bland storyline, but which is still worth watching for its achievements in cinematography and lighting. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/21 Full Review Audience Member another silent expressionistic gem from Murnau Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A morality play towards hypocrisy, in this case due to religious fanaticism in the name of the phony. The mockery heavyload is pointed towards hypocrisy not towards religion. The religion itself its just the crooks method. I can only speculate if Murnau vision on religion is poision. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I love how this movie uses Tartuffe as a story within a story to warn the audience of hypocrites. The character who's saying it, breaks the fourth wall to tell us this warning as well, which was cool. Plus the expressionistic style isn't as pronounced as in some other films, but it's there. Especially in the guy who plays Tartuffe. Murnau sure made some interesting films, I recommend seeing this movie, it's good. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Nicht Murnaus bester Film, doch man sieht auch bei Herr Tartüff, dass Murnau einer der ganz großen Stummfilmregisseure war. Die Laufzeit von nur knapp 60 Minuten ist für meinen Geschmack ein wenig zu kurz geraten, eine zusätzliche Viertelstunde hätte dem Ganzen sicher gut getan. gute 3/5 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member F.W. Murnau's fable in how you are not suppose to trust everyone that you come across, that works great with the clash of two of the best silent German actors Emil Jannings and Werner Krauss. An old man's housekeeper trys hard to get her old master to write out the letter that will leave her with everything in this will. This is when the old man's grandson shows up and witnesses the housekeeper poisoning the old man. The grandson is kicked out only to return with a play and in costume to show the old man the errors of his decisions in trusting people. Not the best film from Murnau that does have a great cast that raises it to classic statis. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
