Werner Krauss brought a chilling, transformative presence to German silent film and became one of the most influential actors of the expressionist era. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is the landmark, Danton clashes the revolutionary with Robespierre, Othello is manipulated into jealous rage, The Ancient Law sends a rabbi’s son to the secular stage, and The Student Prince falls for a barmaid at a German university. Tales of Hoffmann rounds out the list.
