in 1923 to critical acclaim. This story of a fateful dinner party at which a flirtatious
wife, her jealous husband, and their guests are entertained by a traveling illusionist
who deals in shadow play and hypnosis was extolled by one critic as superior to Wegener's
Golem, Lubitsch's Passion, even Murnau's Nosferatu and Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr.
Caligari. Yet where those films became mainstays of film history, Warning Shadows
was long unknown: only recently, with the release of a restored version on DVD, has
it begun to get its due. One of the few silent movies to eschew intertitles, it was
an attempt to create a "pure film," drawing on the qualities of cinema that made it
not an heir to literature or theater but a unique and autonomous art form. Staging
a story of desire, adultery, and violence, Robison's film also engaged with discourses
at the heart of Weimar culture, from changing gender norms to hysteria and hypnosis
to the construction of spectatorship. Seen this way, Warning Shadows is both a gripping
narrative of infidelity and jealousy and a film inherently about film. ANJEANA K.
HANS is Associate Professor of German Studies and affiliated faculty in Cinema and
Media Studies at Wellesley College"
