The City without Jews
In the Republic of Utopia, because of the bad economic crisis ailing the nation, the Jews are made the scapegoats for the economic and social ills affecting the population; therefore, the government decides to expel them. Leo Strakosch is among the exiled. He is engaged to Counsellor's Linder's daughter. He gets into the Republic, in a clandestine way, to show to the society the wrongness of their anti-semitic prejudice. Bettauer's novel differs essentially from the film version. "Vienna" was named "Utopia." Even a happy ending was provided.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Hans Karl Breslauer constructs a powerful satire, relying on stark visual contrasts and grotesque imagery to expose the absurdity of scapegoating. The film explores the social and economic void left by expulsion, building its narrative as a cautionary fable.
What lingers after the final reel is a chilling sense of recognition and the film's enduring, tragic relevance. A silent-era warning that speaks volumes. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: H.K. Breslauer
