After enjoying fantastic success with Fritz Lang s two-part "lndian Epic" in 1959, German producer Artur Brauner signed the great director to direct one more film. The resuIt would be the picture that, in closing the saga he began nearly forty years earlier, brought Lang s career full-circle, and wouId come to represent his finaI celIuIoid testament by extension: his final fiIm masterpiece.
The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse [Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse] finds that diabolicaI Weimar name resurfacing in the CoId War era, linked to a new methodoIogy of murder and mayhem. Seances, assassinations, and Nazi-engineered surveiIIance tech all abound in Lang s paranoid, and ultimate, fiImic labyrinth.
One of the great and cherished "last films" in the history of cinema, The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse provides a styIistic gIimpse into the 1960s works on such subjects as sex-crime, youth-cuIture, and LSD that Lang would unfortunately never come to realise. NonetheIess, Lang s final fiIm remains an explosive, and definitive, cIosing statement. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fritz Lang s finaI film on Blu-ray.
