Genuine: The Tragedy Of A Vampire (1920) FAN RESTORATION! - Robert Wiene

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: The following content is an fan-made restoration. The full version of "GENUINE" (1920) has never been officially restored. However, a tinted 43min abridgement has been digitalised and released only as a complement to "THE CABINET OF DR CALIGARI", Robert Wiene's previous film. Though, a full-lengh VHS rip of a 80min copy with french intertitles is available online. This restoration has been produced by the compiling of these two versions. New intertitles have been created in a style analog to Dr Caligari's ones. As no German intertitles seem to have survived, the intertitles were taken from the 43min english version, and for those who were missing, translated from the French copy. English translations of this copy available online presented a number of translation errors, so they have been corrected here. The missing segments were also tinted according to what could be seen on the 43min version. The French print seems to be tinted also, but it is sometimes so dark it was difficult to say. Apologies for the poor quality of the VHS segments, but this is the best that can be found for now. This film has often been compared, for worse, to Caligari, and thus considered less good. Seeing the 43min, I tended to agree, but in the light of the complete version, I think some subtilities of the plot that had been cut up really improve its appreciation. Hopefully, the reels of this complete French version will turn up one day and allow this film to be restored and appreciated to the full. —Restoration by Achille Brunet, Nov. 2023.
