Perfection is the only word to describe this piece from Murnau. It has all the components to be one of the greatest films in the silent era, from its revolutionary cinematography and aesthetics to its ideal narrative, and all that was needed to paint this beautiful picture is Munrau's futuristic direction. This film closed the silent era, the same way Touch of Evil closed the film noir era.
A timeless piece.
