Die Familie ohne Moral

1927 · 120 min
7.0 / 10 · TMDB

In the heart of 1920s Berlin resides a family whose respectability is but a fragile veneer. The patriarch, a pillar of the bourgeoisie, leads a double life, while his wife desperately clings to the illusion of propriety. Their children, coming of age in this climate of hypocrisy, start asking inconvenient questions. A single reckless act threatens to tear down the curtain, causing the carefully constructed edifice of their morals to crumble. The film dissects the chasm between public virtue and private vice during an era of rapidly shifting social norms, where old values collide with new temptations.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The 1927 silent film 'Die Familie ohne Moral' is a biting satire of bourgeois conventions that has lost none of its edge. The director expertly employs visual metaphor, contrasting the opulent interiors of the home with the emptiness behind its inhabitants' expressions.

What lingers after the final reel is a sharp, ironic portrait of a world where the only true sin is getting caught. It remains a pertinent study of hypocrisy as the last refuge of personal failing. — MovieFinder Editorial
