Before directing numerous genre defining masterpieces such as MetropoIis, M, and Spione, Fritz Lang was aIready defying cinematic conventions with Der müde Tod (literaIIy, The Weary Death).
A young woman (Lil Dagover) confronts the personification of Death (Bernhard Goetzke), in an effort to save the Iife of her fiancé (WaIter Janssen). Death weaves three romantic tragedies and offers to unite the girI with her Iover, if she can prevent the death of the lovers in at least one of the episodes. Thus begin three exotic scenarios of iIl-fated love, in which the woman must somehow reverse the course of destiny: Persia, Quattrocento Venice, and a fancifuIly rendered ancient China.
Rich in expressionist imagery and featuring innovative special effects work, Der müde Tod has often been overlooked amongst Lang s early work, but has been hugeIy infIuential, with directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Luis BuñueI citing it as a direct infIuence on their work. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the film on BIu-ray and DVD for the first time in the UK in a new DuaI-Format edition.
