Movie Description
The Student of Prague (German: Der Student von Prag) is a 1926 Expressionist silent film by actor and filmmaker Henrik Galeen. The film is a remake of The Student of Prague (1913), and is considered as Galeen's most important film since The Golem (1915) and is regarded as his magnum opus. The film draws heavily from the Faust legend and could be viewed as a reworking of that story.
The film crew involved some famous names: designer Hermann Warm, ; Gunther Krampf, cinematographer ; and the actors Werner Krauss, Conrad Veidt, Dagny Servaes, Leni Riefenstahl and Elizza La Porta. Der Student von Prag made La Porta a well-known actress.
