The Golem

Wegener is the Golem, and he is uncanny in the suggestion of the supernatural in his face and movements.

The production is an impressively dignified one and the scenes of medieval limes are well visualized, with some magnificent mob scenes. The cast has been carefully selected with a view to the depiction of ancient types and are all excellent.

Fascinating, exciting to the imagination, and yet so unfamiliar in all of its aspects that it always seems remote, elusive even, when one would like to get closer to its meaning.

The art, the play spirit, the mummery, craft and workmanship which lie back of the production of The Golem are of the stuff out of which the future of the movies is to root and establish a cinema art surpassing that of the present hour.
