Suffering under the tyrannical rule of Rudolf II in 16th-century Prague, a Talmunic 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 Salmonovo) 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 Go/em was one of the greatest achievements of the legendary UFA Studios, and remains an undeniable landmark in the evolution of the horror film; THE GOLEM: How He Came into the World (Der Go/em, wie er in die Welt kam) Projektions-AG ,Union« (PAGU), Berlin, Paul Davidson Written and Directed by Paul Wegener Photographed by Karl Freund Production Design: Hans Poelzig With Paul Wegener Albert Steinruck Lyda Salmonova Ernst Deutsch Music by Admir Shkurtoj, on commission of the Biennole Venezia Film Festival (2019) Mixed by Valerio Daniele © Sugormusic S.p.A. - Edizioni Suvini Zerboni, Milano Music composed and performed by Stephen Horne (2019) Music composed and performed by lukosz "Wudec" Poleszok (2019) U.S. distribution version: Music by Cordula Heth (2019) Restoration (2018): Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnou-Stihung Cinemotek (Royal Film Archive of Belgium) Material: Cinemotek (Royal Film Archive of Belgium) George Eastman Museum (inemotheque fron􀀤oise Fondozione Cineteco Italiano Museum of Modern Art Gosfilmofond of Russia Filmmuseum Miinchen Cover artwork by Ivon Montoy ER -
