And thus begins one of the greatest films ever created. Tartuffe, a silent German tale, warns of the dangers involved in unchecked devotion to religion, ideologies and other inherently hypocritical institutions. Its wisdom is revealed through the interactions of wonderfully descriptive characters: A villain whose face is constantly hidden in a book, only removed to reveal his true evil; an ignorant and entirely fooled man; the faithful wife who imperils herself to set free that man; and the loyal maid who makes the plan work. This film should be shown everywhere to everyone in hopes of saving the easily-tricked from devotional slavery. Very fun to watch: a true classic.
Totally Awesome Must See!
