There's something stunning about the list of filmmakers contributing to the adaptation of Wedekind's play - not the numbers, but the prestige: incomparable Asta Nielsen starring as a prostitute, screenwriter and the spiritual father of German expressionism Carl Mayer, and director Leopold Jessner, who participated on key film and theatre interpretations of this style.
