The 1926 Sokal-Film poster for Henrik Galeen's remake of Der Student von Prag (The Student of Prague). A defining Doppelganger tale of Weimar cinema, in which a bargained-away reflection returns to stalk its owner. Notice the doubling motif built into the design's split composition. Your reflection, gone rogue.
