Country: Germany
Year: 1919
Duration: 94'


The film is taken from the piece by Hauptmann, who participated in the drafting of the screenplay. "Der Film" (November 2, 1919) wrote on the relationship between the dramatic work and its filmic transcription: "After Gerhart Hauptmann was present at screening of the film, Rose Bernd, at the Mozartsaal, he expressed a favorable opinion on the work, sustaining that the tragic sense of his drama had reached a more effective level in the film, where the acting naturally had to be expressed differently than in stage acting. He particularly thanked Henny Porten, who was much acclaimed for the exceptional vitality of her interpretation of Rose Bernd".
