  Don't waste your money on this.
  
  I feel foolish for buying this version, because I thought it would include the same content as the Criterion Collection release I had rented before. But as it turns out, A2ZCDS is a (for lack of a better term) bootleg enterprise. Buy the Criterion Collection version: you will get the original film, plus the commentary, plus the 1960s release by William S. Burroughs and Anthony Balch, with the kick-ass jazz score. Don't waste your money on this release. It is robbery. I feel stupid.

  Great Film of its Time
  
  I found this 1922 film to be amazing in it's inovative and creative portrayal of witchcraft in the middle ages. Scenes of nudity and torture made this film very controversial in 1922 and caused it to be banned as well as greatly edited in later versions. A2ZCDS did a great job in restoring this film.
