The Judas of Tyrol (German: Der Judas von Tirol) is a 1933 German historical drama film directed by Franz Osten and starring Fritz Rasp, Camilla Spira, and Marianne Hoppe.[1] It was shot at the Johannisthal Studios in Berlin.[2] The film's sets were designed by the art director Hans Jacoby. Its Berlin premiere was at the Marmorhaus.
Plot
The film is set in the early nineteenth century, when the Tyrol was under foreign occupation. The Tyrolean folk hero Andreas Hofer hides in the village of St Leonhardt, whose residents are preparing to stage their annual Passion Play. The film focuses on Raffl, a young farmhand cast in the role of Judas. Raffl gradually loses the ability to distinguish between role and reality.
