Germany, 1920. The war is lost, the empire is gone, and a Jewish rabbi is building a protector from mud. Paul Wegener’s Der Golem is a film about what happens when the thing you created to save you stops listening.
Released in 1934, during the brief and lawless Hollywood’s pre-Code era, when filmmakers were free to explore darker themes that would soon be censored by the Production Code, Edgar G. Ulmer’s strange and unsettling film brought together Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in their first on-screen pairing.
