Henrik Galeen

A British-German silent drama film directed by Henrik Galeen

Early sound film of a popular stage puppet show.

Профессор-генетик Якоб тен Бринкен, следуя древним магическим поверьям, создаёт из корня мандрагоры девушку Альрауне — существо, не отягощённое наследственностью и приносящее удачу тем, кто находится рядом с ней. Он отдаёт её на воспитание в пансион. Когда Альрауне взрослеет, она сбегает из пансиона с влюблённым в неё юношей и затем вынуждает его присоединиться к бродячей цирковой труппе. Через несколько лет профессор находит её и говорит молодой женщине, которая его совсем не помнит, что он её отец. Заинтригованная тайной своего происхождения, Альрауне находит научные записи тен Бринкена, из которых узнает правду. Узнав, что она вообще не человек, девушка испытывает шок и решает отомстить профессору, который постепенно начинает относиться к ней уже не как к дочери, а как к возлюбленной.

Suffering under the tyrannical rule of Rudolf II in 16th-century Prague, a Talmudic rabbi creates a giant warrior to protect the safety of his people. Sculpted of clay and animated by the mysterious secrets of the Cabala, the Golem was a seemingly indestructible juggernaut, performing acts of great heroism, yet equally capable of dreadful violence. When the rabbi's assistant takes control of the Golem and attempts to use him for selfish gain, the lumbering monster runs rampant, abducting the rabbi's daughter and setting fire to the ghetto.

This mostly lost film (please check your attic) is often confused with director Paul Wegener third and readily available interpretation of the legend; Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam (1920).

Brought to life by an antique dealer, the golem is used as a menial servant. Eventually falling in love with the dealer's wife, it goes on a murderous rampage when its love for her goes unanswered.
