Movie Reviews of The Golem (Restored Authorized edition)
Movie Review: The Golem
Summary: 4 Stars
While we have not yet watched the film, I was VERY disappointed with the amount of time it took to ship. We live overseas and I purchased the film from the US distributor: digitaleyes_dvdplanet to have it shipped to the US address we would be visting. I ordered the film 2 weeks before arrival. We were there 10 days and the film still had not been delivered. I contacted the shipper 5 days before departure and got the standard response that it was on it's way. In the end, it did not arrive in time before we left and my father sent it 10 days later. So it took a month to get it!
Summary of The Golem (Restored Authorized edition)
A relic certainly, but a fascinating one, Der Golem is perhaps the screen's first great monster movie. Though it was actually the third time director-star Paul Wegener had played the eponymous creation, the earlier efforts (sadly lost) were rough drafts for this elaborate dramatization of the Jewish legend. When the Emperor decrees that the Jews of mediaeval Prague should be evicted from the ghetto, a mystical rabbi creates a clay giant and summons the demon Astaroth who breathes out in smoky letters the magic word that will animate the golem. Intended as a protector and avenger, the golem is twisted by the machinations of a lovelorn assistant and, like many a monster to come, runs riot, terrorizing guilty and innocent alike until a little girl innocently ends his rampage. Wegener's golem is an impressively solid figure, the Frankenstein monster with a slightly comical clay wig. The wonderfully grotesque Prague sets and the alchemical atmosphere remain potent. --Kim NewmanArt House & International DVD Video
