Directed by Henrik Galeen

Conrad Veidt - Balduin, a student

Werner Krauss - Scapinelli, a money lender

@love233 - nowadays cinema i s a desert, barren as hell itself. or would you rather watch unMysterious films like "twlight saga: new moon" "2012" "transformers: the revenge of the fallen"? theres a wellspring of bad blockbusters to choose from, and foreign films aint classic like they used to b- they r also v e r y influenced by todays shitty hollywood.calling most recent foreign films"art"is just relatively speaking compared to todays sold-out hollywood.who r todays bergmans,fellinis,kurosawas?

@zurapDOR

Thanks Google, it's Brahms 3rd Symphony, 3rd Movement, lyrics in Birkin/Gainsbourg setting. *cough*

Isn't this a French intro-song, maybe by Gainsbourgh?
