The way emotions play across [Jannings'] wide face it could practically be a movie screen itself.

Chicago Reader
This is a production which not only shows the way in which a story should be unfurled, but impresses one with the magic of the camera in picturing effects, such as the torrent of thoughts rushing through a maddened mind.

New York Times
A grim drama in the life of a troupe of acrobats, it is incomparably acted by Emil Jannings.

The Spectator
Rating: 3.5/4 --
An almost operatic tale of personal tragedy, made great by Dupont's keen visual innovations and sense of character.
