A forerunner of early sound horror classics
“The Golem” (1920), together with “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” introduced German expressionism to cinema with its nightmarish images, heavily stylized sets, and sense of foreboding. These silent films inspired such classic horror movies as “The Phantom of the Opera” and especially “Frankenstein.” Writer/director Paul Wegener draws upon folklore, history, and the supernatural in this tale of a creature brought to life from mounds of clay to protect the Jewish inhabitants of Prague from persecution.<br /><br />Suffering under the tyrannical rule of Rudolf II in the 16th century, Rabbi Loew (Albert Steinruck) makes a deal with an evil spirit to bring the Golem (Wegener) to life. In an elaborate creation sequence, the rabbi first shapes mounds of clay into the form of a large human-like creature, reads from an ancient book of sorcery, consults astrological signs, and affixes an amulet that causes the creature to open its eyes and lumber about. Obedient to Rabbi Loew at first, doing chores and serving as bodyguard to the residents of the ghetto, the creature eventually shows a violent side. The rabbi loses control of his creation and must deal with the consequences.<br /><br />“The Golem” is an excellent example of German silent filmmaking. Architect Hans Poelzig fashioned highly stylized sets to represent the city of Prague in the Middle Ages. With its twisted staircases, misshapen buildings, crooked streets, curved walls and arched windows, the film has a dreamlike appearance, since recognizable objects are not quite as they should be. Looking like a page out of a vintage fairy tale book, “The Golem” introduces an enigmatic being with a dual personality. Compliant and docile in one scene, it can bare its teeth and become violent in the next, making it unpredictable and adding suspense. The Golem is gentle in a scene with young children gathering around it, and later uses his superhuman strength to topple the palace.<br /><br />The similarities to James Whale’s “Frankenstein,” made eleven years later, stand out. The Golem is a mute creature, it is brought to life through unorthodox methods, it has brute strength, walks awkwardly, turns on its creator, kills, carries off a beautiful woman (Miriam, the rabbi’s daughter), and its creator has an assistant. Wegener also infuses a bit of pathos into the creature, portraying the Golem as a victim of its own creation.<br /><br />For a monster film, however, “The Golem” is not very scary. More a tale based in Jewish folklore than an excursion into terror, it is more notable for introducing elements that later filmmakers would incorporate into stories of genuine horror. The “monster” here lacks an appearance that instills fear. He’s big and solemn-faced, but his weird pageboy hairdo looks like a toy tunnel from a Lionel train set, and it’s hard to take him seriously. For a contemporary comparison, think of “Nosferatu,” made two years later. The make-up on the vampire is truly chilling, with his bald head, claw-like hands, long nose, pointy ears, and elongated middle teeth. His gaunt, nearly skeletal body completes the picture of a desiccated human creature.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the Blu-ray release include an audio commentary, a comparison of the German and U.S. release versions, three musical score options, and the U.S. release version (with a fourth score).

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Widely recognized as the source of the Frankenstein myth, the ancient Hebrew legend of the Golem provided actor/director Paul Wegener with the substance for one of the most adventurous films of the German silent cinema. Suffering under the tyrannical rule of Rudolf II in 16th-century Prague, a Talmudic rabbi (Albert Steinruck) creates a giant warrior (Paul Wegener) to protect the safety of his people. When the rabbi's assistant (Ernst Deutsch) takes control of the Golem and attempts to use him for selfish gain, the lumbering monster runs rampant, abducting the rabbi's daughter (Lyda Salmonova) and setting fire to the ghetto. With its remarkable creation sequence (a dazzling blend of religion, sorcery and special effects) and the grand-scale destruction of its climax, The Golem was one of the greatest achievements of the legendary UFA Studios, and remains an undeniable landmark in the evolution of the horror film.Special Features:-4K restoration of German release version-music by Stephen Horne-music by Admir Shkurtai-music by Lukasz “Wudec” Poleszak-audio commentary by film historian Tim Lucas-comparison of German and U.S. release versions-U.S. release version, with music by Cordula Heth.
