这是一部带有较明显的纳粹意识形态的宣传影片，曾在1945年一度被盟国军**列为禁片。但尽管如此，饰演腓特烈威廉一世的第一届奥斯卡金像奖最佳男主角——爱米尔强宁斯Emil Jannings以精湛的演技将这位“军曹国王”演绎得有血有肉、生动立体，让人又爱又恨；而他与热爱文学艺术的弗里茨王子（即未来的腓特烈大帝）之间的一系列矛盾冲突，既让观众体会到这位国王强硬、严酷表象下的良苦用心，同时也对弗里茨王子在青年时代被父亲压制管教、向往自由而不得，最终又失去挚友的遭遇深感同情。影片最后，老国王腓特烈临终之际，多年心存芥蒂的父子终于冰释前嫌，而弗里茨王子则在老国王的祝福下戴上王冠，成为普鲁士新一代国王。（豆瓣电影字幕翻译2.0小组）

这是一套足以让任何一个资深影迷和电影工作者都为之兴奋的产品，它系统地阐述在过去100多年里，电影艺术在欧洲从诞生到发展、壮大、开拓的过程，按照地域的划分系统性地对欧洲主要各国在电影艺术上的发展做了一个梳理。第一集首先就给观众讲述了电影艺术在1895年诞生的过程，由法国卢米埃尔兄弟所拍摄的《火车进站》、《工厂大门》等珍贵片段都被收录其中。第二集讲述的则是瑞典的电影，瑞典作为北欧最为重要的电影艺术发展国家，曾经诞生了伯格曼等著名大导演，但谁又曾想到，他们也经历过电影的低谷。1912年所有瑞典电影人聚集在一起的一次盛会真正让瑞典电影走向了世界的前沿。第三集则来到了法斯宾德、文德斯等的故乡德国，早期的表现主义电影正是从那里诞生而来，成为德国电影的标志之一。新浪潮运动的发源地法国是第四集的主角，它详细介绍了法国电影工业在战争后的复苏与巨大先导性，其中选用了许多...
Film critic Rüdiger Suchsland's debut film focuses on Robert Wiene's expressionist horror film classic Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920) while examining the historic Weimar Republic (1918-1933), inspired by celebrated German sociologist Siegfried Kracauer's influential book 'From Caligari to Hitler' (1947). What effects do cinema and society have upon each other Suchland's f...

保罗·莱尼拍摄于1924年的《蜡人馆》被普遍认为是表现主义的最后一部作品。这部作品采用了与《疲倦的死神》相类似的叙事结构，讲述一个蜡人馆的老板请来一位作家为自己的蜡像人物编故事。作家编写了三个故事：哈里发的故事、伊凡雷帝的故事和“恐怖杰克”的故事。其中第一个几乎完全脱胎于《疲倦的死神》，第二个则是有关俄罗斯历史上的暴君，第三个更是诡异离奇，基本上是英国近代史上两个杀人狂魔“弹簧腿杰克”和“开膛手杰克”的结合体，这两个杰克都是历史上的悬案，传说他们是地狱的使者，在人世间嗜血如命、杀人如麻。在影片的最后，连作家本人也被杰克追杀。我想，现在那些有关连环杀人犯的恐怖电影，其源头恐怕得追溯到这里。
