New Digital Restoration!
DER MÜDE TOD
Germany
| 1921 | Fritz Lang
Here’s a new digital restoration of the first great film by the director of Metropolis (see 5/21 & 22), M, and many others. A dazzling blend of German Romanticism, German Expressionism, and Orientalism, the film is an elaborate fantasy in which Death grants a young woman three chances to thwart fate and save the life of her fiancé. She finds herself in a trio of tales set, respectively, in storied Persia, 17th-century Venice, and mythic China. The special effects in this 95-year-old work still impress. “Fritz Lang’s film Destiny opened my eyes to the poetic expressiveness of the cinema.” –Luis Buñuel. Cleveland revival premiere. Silent with music track. DCP. 98 min. www.kinolorber.com
