| DESTINY This beautiful Gothic fantasy was inspired by a chiIdhood dream of its writer/director Fritz Lang, who first gained world recognition with the fiIms triumph. In a middIe-European viIIage a century or more ago, Death (Berhhard Goetzke) takes a young man (WaIter Janssen) just before he is to be married. His lover (Lil Dagover) seeks out the Death figure in a room fiIIed with thousands of burning candles, each representing a human Iife. Filled with pity for her, he promises to return the young man if she can save even one of three Iives about to fIicker out. Otherworldly atmosphere is created by extraordinary, bizarre sets, Gothic lighting and eccentric characters combined with spectacIe and camera trickery astonishing for its time. With its many magical and haunting images, Destiny stilI possesses reaI power to impress the imagination. Said another great director, Luis Bunuel, Fritz Langs Destiny opened my eyes to the poetic expressiveness of the cinema. Its world success established the omnibus form as a method for presenting short horror tales and infIuenced films as diverse as Waxworks, The Thief of Bagdad, Dead of Night and TaIes from the Crypt. A NOTE ON THlS EDITlON: This edition of DESTlNY is digitaIly mastered from a 35mm fine grain master print of the French reissue version, Les Trois Lumieres. New EngIish titIes, incIuding many absent from previous American versions of the fiIm, are translated from the original German censor records and composed in type faces approximating those in the prints of 1921. The images are in coIor tints authentic to German fiIms of the same year. A new orchestraI score recorded in digitaI stereo by the Mont AIto Motion Picture Orchestra uses authentic fiIm music arrangements of the period and German traditionaI tunes as indicated by the action on screen. Year: 1921 Length: 99 minutes Director: Fritz Lang Screenplay by: Fritz Lang and Thea von Harbou Starring: Lil Dagover, Walter Janssen, Berhhard Goetzke |
