I love how this movie uses Tartuffe as

I love how this movie uses Tartuffe as a story within a story to warn the audience of hypocrites. The character who's saying it, breaks the fourth wall to tell us this warning as well, which was cool. Plus the expressionistic style isn't as pronounced as in some other films, but it's there. Especially in the guy who plays Tartuffe. Murnau sure made some interesting films, I recommend seeing this movie, it's good.

A morality play towards hypocrisy, in this case

A morality play towards hypocrisy, in this case due to religious fanaticism in the name of the phony. The mockery heavyload is pointed towards hypocrisy not towards religion. The religion itself its just the crooks method. I can only speculate if Murnau vision on religion is poision.
