#LetThereBeLight (#German: Es werde Licht!) is a 1917 German #silent #dramaFilm directed by #RichardOswald and starring #BerndAldor, #HugoFlink and Nelly Lagarst. It was followed by three sequels. The film was a protest against Germany's anti-abortion law, and also touched on the dangers of #syphilis. It is a lost film. The film's sets were designed by the #artDirector #AugustRinaldi. #ManfredNoa was employed as an artistic consultant.

📽️ Eerie Tales (Unheimliche Geschichten), 1919
⭐ 3/5

The version I watched had no soundtrack at all, making for a totally silent viewing experience. It's fun though, love seeing Anita Berber in action, the old school effects, and the three actors in multiple roles. "The Black Cat" and "The Suicide Club" were my favorite sections. As for Connie Content, what can I say, he's stunning.
