Biography

Before the talkies roared into life, Paul Passarge had already slipped his silhouette onto the screen. In 1913 he stalked through Der Andere as the mysterious “Other,” then resurfaced four years later to breathe life into Christa Hartungen. By 1919 he was tangled in the romantic mazes of Irrungen, sealing his quiet legacy while the rest of the world was still learning how to watch.
