One
of the greatest film directors of the silent era,
F.W. Murnau was as influential and essential an
artist as any number of his better-known and more
prolific contemporaries. Many of his German-made
films are lost, but two of his surviving classics
are featured in this special DVD Edition.
NOSFERATU
Banned in Sweden, this still-chilling and strongly
unauthorized version of Bram Stoker’s novel,
Dracula, is critically acclaimed as one of F.W.
Murnau’s cinematic milestones.
Starring: Max Schreck, Greta Schroder, Ruth Landshoff
Director: F.W. Murnau. Original Release: 1922 /
TRT: 75 Minutes / B&W
THE LAST LAUGH
A bitterly ironic chronicle of a proud old doorman
of a posh hotel who is stripped of his prized job,
his self-esteem, and his prestige when he is demoted
to men’s washroom attendant of the hotel.
Starring: Emil Jannings, Maly Delschaft, Max Hiller
Director: F.W. Murnau. Original Release: 1924 /
TRT: 77 Minutes / B&W
DER GOLEM
A clay statue from 16th century Prague is found
in the rubble of an old synagogue in the 20th century.

rampage over an unrequited love.
