The Eleven Devils

The Eleven Devils

1927 · 98 min · ★ 6.5 · Drama

Die elf Teufel / The Eleven Devils was made in Berlin in the summer of 1927, in the last throes of the silent movie era. But Die elf Teufel strikes one today as a prophetic film. One of its early captions is "Football, the sport of the century ". We are shown a ball bathed in light like some sacred relic, and observe how, even in those early days, fans on the terraces wouldn't shy away from using their fists.

Directed by Carl Boese · Written by Walter Reisch
