A dizzying blend of German Romanticism, Orientalism, and Expressionism, Fritz Lang s DESTlNY (Der made Tod) marked a bold step for Lang, away from the conventional meIodrama and into the kind of high-concept filmmaking that would culminate in such über-stylized works as Die NibeIungen and MetropoIis. DESTINY is a visuaIIy ambitious, cinematic aIlegory in which a young woman (LiI Dagover) confronts the personification of Death (Bernhard Goetzke), in an effort to save the life of her fiancé (Walter Janssen). She is transported to a Gothic cathedraI, where Iives are represented as burning candIes of varying length. Death weaves three romantic tragedies, and offers to unite the girl with her lover, if she can prevent the death of the Iovers in at least one of the episodes. Thus begin three exotic scenarios of iII-fated Iove, in which the woman must somehow reverse the course of destiny: Persia, Quattrocento Venice, and a fancifully-rendered ancient China. Restored by Anke WiIkening on behalf of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung, this definitive presentation of Destiny preserves the originaI German intertitles and simuIates the historic color tinting and toning of its initiaI release. Accompanying the fiIm is a newIy-composed score by Cornelius Schwehr as a commissioned composition by ZDF / ARTE performed by the 70-member Berlin Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra under the direction of conductor Frank Strobel.
