The legend of the Golem—a man made from clay brought to life through kabbalistic magic in 16th century Prague by the actual historical rabbi Jehuda Loew to protect the Jewish community from pogroms—is one of the most enduring and resonant stories in all of Jewish mythology. The 1920 silent film THE GOLEM directed by Paul Wegener and Carl Boese, is considered the definitive version of this amazing tale.
Legendary guitarist Gary Lucas, whom The New Yorker magazine described as "The Thinking Man's Guitar Hero", was inexorably drawn to this tale...and this film. His original solo guitar score for THE GOLEM is considered a classic—a seamless blend of innovative music and fantastic cinema which has been delighting and thrilling audiences in sold out theaters and festivals around the world since he debuted his score in 1989.
