    Oh my God. Emil Jannings is brilliant in this. The second half of the film is exceptional. Beautiful and very moving. 12 years 7 months ago

    Downright incredible. If you have any doubt that Emil Jannings was one of the greatest actors of all time, watch this film. Just the scene where he's terrorized by the revolutionists alone is a masterclass in acting for the screen. 9 years ago
