This film is presented by Silents, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart.

“Framed by the hauntingly beautiful landscapes of the production, it leaves an indelible mark on the soul of the viewer.” – Dbcult

The earliest surviving film by F. W. Murnau, JOURNEY INTO THE NIGHT provides a stunning showcase for the German Expressionist maestro’s innovative style. The film gives a scintillating representation of Murnau’s highly expressive lighting techniques, while the plot—an eminent physician comes under the spell of an unscrupulous dancer—finds echoes in Murnau’s later masterpiece Sunrise. Conrad Veidt appears in a supporting role as a sinister painter, whose entrance eerily presages Nosferatu. “This is hypnotic, immersive cinema.” (David Bordwell)
