10/10
A Beautiful Film

Warning: Spoilers
F. W. Murnau was one of the clear to see why. While not quite up to the standard Of Nosferatu, this is still a visual treat The expressionist style and way the film tells its story is something rarely seen in modern movies these day. It has real soul.

This tale of love and obsession is a small one, but an involving one, like Shattered and Master Of The House.

The cast is an excellent one and they are wonderful in this.

While it is not a powerhouse like Metropolis, or brooding like Der Mude Tod, it is still worth watching to see a master filmmaker like Murnau spin a beautiful celluloid tale.

This film like so many movies from this period was thought to be lost, but has now been restored.
