One of the most influential of the German Expressionist films of the 1920's. The most radical aspect is the lighting, where the shadows are sometimes more important than the actors.
Also unusual is that there are no titles except at the start to introduce the characters, who are just types and do not have names, just descriptive titles (husband, wife, youth, servant, etc.).
The shadow puppet show is similar to what is seen more extensively in Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed, Die (1925).
