Jackie and Greg discuss why F. W. Murnau's expressionistic fable remains such a monumental work. Topics include the film's animated intertitles, Fox's Movietone sound-on-film system, the inventive visual language of the film, and German Expressionism vs. realism. Tune in to hear them take on one of the most beloved films of the silent era.
