GW Pabst: film director, patriarch, "the Great Unknown". The giant of German-language cinema, at last told privately and artistically in all his in all his contradictoriness. Silent films interweave with real stories in a journey from the 1920s to today.

Reviews
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
