Since completing a portrait of Genuine, a high priestess, Percy becomes irritable and withdrawn. He loses interest in painting and refuses to see his friends, preferring to spend his time alone with the portrait in his study. After turning down a wealthy patron's offer to buy the picture, Percy falls asleep while reading stories of Genuine's life. Genuine comes to life from the painting and escapes.

I’m not 100% sure what was happening in this movie, but what I do know is that I would also kill for this woman.

1 Robert Wiene film
was only able to find a 44 min cut (i think that's all that's been recovered?) I really am not into black & white or silent films, so this was a struggle for me. cool set and costumes but just wasn't my thing, I never felt connected to the story

"Since painting his last canvas, Percy has become irritable. His eyes are worn out, he seems to be going mad."
These Wiene movies are really just stunning. Genuine has a similar abstract look to it as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, so of course I love it so much. The thing that sets Genuine apart is the beautiful costuming. Seriously, Genuine is out here serving looks more than Cesare ever did.
This rocks.
