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. Full Review

A grim drama in the life of a troupe of acrobats, it is incomparably acted by Emil Jannings. Full Review

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