Starring: Emil Jannings, Gosta Ekman Directed By: F.W. Murnau March 17, 2009
This product is only sold on the western hemisphere, yet the captions are written entirely in German! I realize this was a German movie, but I do not know German, and nowhere in the product description did it say the captions had not been translated. I was extremely excited when I ordered this and when i watched it extremely disappointed. Once again, do not buy this product unless you can read... more

|
Starring: Emil Jannings, Max Schreck Directed By: F.W. Murnau March 17, 2009
Friedrich Wilhem Plumpe (1888-1931) -- F.W. Murnau - was, without a doubt, one of Germany's - and the world, for that matter - most talented directors. In fact, he was voted as the 33rd Greatest Director of all time by Entertainment Weekly magazine. I am sure that he would have accomplished much more if his life would have not being drastically cut short by a tragic automobile accident in Santa Barbara... more

Starring: Alfred Abel, Grete Berger, Lil Dagover, Lya De Putti, Anton Edthofer Directed By: F.W. Murnau December 08, 2009
Unfortunately, I must agree with one of the other reviewers here who said that the lead actor became quite annoying. Truth be told, he was pretty annoying right from the beginning. I was very disappointed watching "Phantom." There are some beautiful visual moments to be sure, but I found that the entire enterprise was all but ruined by Alfred Abel's lead performance. The character should have been... more

Wow! Great job Kino. Very clear transfer. Crisp images. The movie itself is a wonderful masterpiece. F.W. Murnau was a master of the camera and did some incredible camerawork. Watching the movie and then watching the 40 minute German documentary (subtitled) will make you appreciate the incredible tricks Murnau employed with this movie. Incredible. It reminded me of film class back... more
