The Golem: How He Came into the World (NR) — German Expressionist Evenings
About the event
Watch director Paul Wegener's classic about 16th century Prague, where Rabbi Loew creates a giant Golem from clay to protect his people from their persecutors. Employing sorcery, he brings the artificial man to life, endowing him with human emotions. 85 minutes. For more information, please contact the branch at (305) 535-4219 or capleyb@mdpls.org. Ages 16 yrs.+ German Expressionist cinema was born out of the angst and upheaval of rapid industrialization, political disorder, and economic collapse in the interwar years. Instead of depicting the physical world, the art focused on the psychological impact of the world around them – the anxiety, despair, and fractured experience of modern life. Join us each week to see one of the classics of this influential period in film history that still impacts films made today.
