Title: Long forgotten silent masterpiece comes to life
Review: A master painter and his protege live in splendor, face relational conflicts, separation, etc., yet there doesn't seem to be a melodramtic note in the entire film. The acting is magnificent, and superior to many silent films. I was thoroughly suprised by the level of quality and sophistication of this movie. If you enjoy great silent movies, this one is a must see. The commentary by the Danish scholar is insightful. Thoroughly enjoyable. A truly excellent film and a genuine masterpiece of Weimar cinema.
