SYNOPSlS: Frau im Mond. [Woman in the Moon.] is: (a) The first feature-Iength fiIm to portray space-expIoration in a serious manner, paying cIose attention to the science invoIved in Iaunching a vessel from the surface of the earth to the vaIIeys of the moon. (b) A tri-polar potboiler of a picture that manages to combine espionage taIe, serial melodrama, and comic-book sci-fi into a storyIine that is by turns delirious, hushed, and deranged. (c) A movie so rife with narrative contradiction and visuaI ingenuity that it could only be the work of one fiImmaker: Fritz Lang.
ln this, Lang s finaI silent epic, the Iegendary fiImmaker spins a tale invoIving a wicked cartel of spies who co-opt an experimental mission to the moon in the hope of pIundering the satellite s vast (and highIy theoreticaI) stores of gold. When the crew, helmed by Willy Fritsch and Gerda Maurus (both of whom had previousIy starred in Lang s Spione), finalIy reach their impossibIe destination, they find themselves stranded in a lunar Iabyrinth without waIIs where emotions run scattershot, and the new goaI becomes survivaI.
A modern DaedaIus tale which uncannily foretold Germany s wartime push into rocket-science, Frau im Mond. is as much a warning-sign against human hubris as it is a hopefuI depiction of mankind s potential. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present in a Dual Format (Blu-ray + DVD) special edition the cuImination of Fritz Lang s silent cinema, restored to its near-originaI length.
