Tartuffe
Famous German filmmaker FW Murnau's interpretation of Moliere's satirical play about a devious housekeeper who convinces her master to cut his son out of his will, and leave his riches to her. Low-key compared to many of his better-known works, this is an intimate lesson on greed and hypocrisy from the silent era.
