This film is filled with strange angular sets, heavy reliance on shadow, and a psychological theme. It is a film enthusiast's delight, especially if said enthusiast believes in the artistic content of silent films.

I have waited since 1968 to see this movie which I first encountered in Carlos Claren's seminal book AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE HORROR FILM which traces horror movies from 1895 through 1967. It has been worth the wait. In fact I was so taken with the film that I immediately watched it again and enjoyed it more the second time. Made in 1924 at the height of Expressionism in German silent ...             Paul Leni's The Man Who Laughs22 reviews Mary Philbin, Conrad Veidt Kino Video, 2003 VERY GOOD FILM----EVEN THOUGH NO ONE SAYS A WORD IN IT!

I guess the first thing I should point out is that it is a partially complete reconstruction: I have seen fellow reviewers who found this fact deleterious to their enjoyment of the film but for me the film as presented is immmensely ...             Under the Red Robe (1937) Conrad Veidt, Annabella Synergy Ent, 2007 Swashbuckler Gil de Berault (Conrad Veidt) is bound for the guillotine when he is given one last chance for a pardon by Cardinal Richelieu (Raymond Massey). He must hunt down and dispose of a duke who is believed to be leading a band of Huguenots, who are determined to overthrow Louis XIII. He infiltrates the Duke's fortress, but finds himself smitten by the duke's attractive sister. Now he must find a way to preserve the duke's life without ...             The Beloved Rogue7 reviews John Barrymore, Conrad Veidt Image Entertainment, 2002 Entertaining, bizarre swashbuckler With the exception of two earlier films, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1920) and The Sea Beast (1926), THE BELOVED ROGUE is more a personal statement by its star, John Barrymore, than any film he ever made. Designed as a romp through 15th century Paris (in a snowstorm, no less), ROGUE is both inventive and bizarre as Barrymore's Gothic tastes were given free rein by United Artists. The actor ...             Under the Red Robe (1937) Conrad Veidt, Annabella Reel Classic Films, 2007             The Indian Tomb9 reviews Olaf Fønss, Mia May Image Entertainment, 2000 Dare I say... stately Most movie lovers know that to describe a movie as stately is critic jargon for slow and boring. However, it's really the only word I can think of to describe the beginning of this film. The Maharajah of Bengal unearths a slumbering holy man and sends him on a mission: bring back the English architect Herbert Rowland to build a fabulous to tomb to Ayan's dead love. Thus begins part one of The ...             Waxworks8 reviews Emil Jannings, Conrad Veidt Kino Video, 2002 Paul Leni's Seldom-Seen Homage to Caligari In the wake of World War I, German film was sharply influenced by expressionism, an arts movement which is less concerned with imitating reality than in using design to reflect psychology and emotion. THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI brought the style to the screen in 1919, and throughout the 1920s many directors would create projects under its influence. German director Paul Leni (1885-1929) was ...             Classic Tales of Adventure 8 Movie Pack2 reviews Douglas Fairbanks, John Barrymore St. Clair Vision, 2006 Silent screen swashbucklers The majority of CLASSIC TALES OF ADVENTURE 8 Movie Pack consists of highly regarded silent films that star John Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks, and others.
