Directed by Mr. F. W. Murnau, who has made so many notable contributions to the development of screen technique, it is a decidedly interesting example of film virtuosity.

The mise en scene is beautifully modulated and the performances -- by Emil Jannings, Lil Dagover, and Werner Krauss, among others -- are first-rate.

Whatever else may be said about it, the picture is heavy and primitive.

Tartuffe, thanks mainly to Emil Jannings' splendid performance, is a film to merit your considerate attention.

Murnau is, of course, an incredible visual stylist, and the golden-tinted hues of Karl Freund's cinematography are often breathtaking. But Tartuffe is ultimately one of Murnau's minor works.

One of silent cinema's most rigorous formalist exercises

Audience Reviews for Tartuffe

Jun 02, 2011I love how this movie uses Tartuffe as a story within a story to warn the audience of hypocrites. The character who's saying it, breaks the fourth wall to tell us this warning as well, which was cool. Plus the expressionistic style isn't as pronounced as in some other films, but it's there. Especially in the guy who plays Tartuffe. Murnau sure made some interesting films, I recommend seeing this movie, it's good.Aj V Super Reviewer

Mar 22, 2010It was a silent movie, the first one I've ever seen. I think that it was pretty enjoyable actually. They sure picked a creepy guy to play Tartuffe.Megan S Super Reviewer
