The Golem: How He Came into the World

Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam

In 16th-century Prague, a rabbi molds a giant man of clay and animates it through sorcery to protect the Jews of the ghetto from persecution — but the creature's power proves difficult to control. A landmark of German silent horror.
