    the age old story of the evil city woman lol. the film is really quite stunning. it starts off full of dread but continues through humor and pathos very artfully. the city scenes are priceless. definitely one of the best silent films i've watched

    Watched it at Charlotte Film Festival.

    Watching this movie on the big screen with live piano music to accompany it was an amazing experience that I doubt I will forget anytime soon. The cinematography in this film is just breathtaking and the story is so touching.

    Even though it's a silent film, I never felt the lack of dialogue keeping me from enjoying the film nor did I ever felt a need for dialogue. The acting was superb and the plot was surprisingly complex with character development (holy crap, in a SILENT FILM!)

    Now I want to watch rest of the films Murnau made!

    Wow! This film was really moving and the performances and direction sublime. It's a silent film that says alot without the actors speaking a single word.

    The greatest silent film I have ever seen. Such poetic and dreamy images, graceful camera movements, and bold montages distill the film with its archetypal characters into a purely emotional experience. 3epkano's (Zerkalo in Russian) score adds an otherworldly aura to the film. It feels classical yet modern at the same time. Hands down the most amazing movie going experience I've ever had.
