"The Golem" is the perfect companion piece for "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari." Both are excellent examples of German expressionism.
Pay attention to the surrealist sets and lighting.
This is skilled film-making, and today's directors can well learn from classics such as these.
However, do not confuse this with an earlier film of the same title. That earlier film is considered lost.
The film inspired a few sequels, but I have never seen them. I read mixed reviews on those movies. Still they would be interesting to watch.
