'DER GOLEM'
(The Golem: How He Came into the World)
Dir. Paul Wegener 1920 Germany 85 mins
With its heady mixture of creeping expressionist sets, esoteric symbolism and occult themes, Wegener's landmark film brought to the screen the Jewish legend of "Der Golem", a human like creature of immense strength brought to life through the Medieval arts of Cabbalism to save the Jews from expulsion from the Prague ghetto. A forerunner of "Frankenstein" the film is a strange offering of moral dilemmas, paradox and provocative characterisation.ces in the later more famous Frankenstein. But Wegener's film combined more elements of melodrama, mysticism, fantasy and psychodrama.
REFLEKTOR 2
Kopinski has a particular interest in history, place and image of early 20th century Central and Eastern Europe. With that sensibility he and Iliffe have composed a new score to this evocative and unsettling film.
REFLEKTOR'S music and recordings are often inspired by the visual world and sensations of time. Working together for many years they have crafted an improvising style and mutual understanding that combines individuality of expression with an intuitive soundworld. Their composing skills and interaction bring real empathy to the films of the silent world.
