Details

In the year 1810, the Tyrol is suffering under French occupation. A servant, who believes himself oppressed and disenfranchised by the peasants, dreams of being allowed to play Christ in the yearly Passion Play. Instead, he is forced to play Judas and soon the lines of reality blur: he betrays the location of Andreas Hofer, hidden by the farmers, breaks under the weight of his guilt and suffers Judas' fate.

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Mozjoukine Clumsy, the German Mountain film running down.The singing Tyroleans are sheltering the local land owner from Napoleonic troops, who climb mountains with their muskets at the slope. The great Fritz Rasp, in his worst performance, is refused the role of Jesus in their Passion play.Interesting support cast includes the attractive Hoppe (later in ROMANZE in MOLLE), Kampers, Klein Rogge and, more effective, Theo Loos. Awkward in staging, groupings and editing. Zither passages in the score.This one is the work of director Osten, whose Indian films are now having a minor revival.
