12. Der Golem, Wie er in die Welt Kam (1920)

Great shots and shadows.
The Golem turned out to be quite a lovable character.



the smoke looked eerie




the cat scene was brilliant, like some animation

there were some astounding details in set design

Directed by Carl Boese & Paul Wegener

11. Alraune (1928)

Brigitte Helm stole my heart and mind.
I started off disliking her as well as her character and by the end of the film I liked them both. The film quality was very poor, which made it hard to understand what went on is some of the scenes and I would have liked to have seen Alraune's face and clothes more clearly.

The direction, the way the film was shot, that was perfect !
It was one of the most impressive ones in a while.








drowning an insect

a fool to be used for escaping a convent school


putting on forbidden perfume, teasing the other convent girls..
a great scene



runaways




and those circus people were superb, especially a man who did card tricks, however I didn't manage to take any good screen shots of him

and by now she's working at the circus

she teases lions by blowing smoke at them



Brigitte wore some adorable outfits in the film, this is one


despair






I loved this part.
