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 fiIm. The result wouId be the picture that, in cIosing the saga he began nearly forty years earIier, brought Lang s career fuII-circIe, and would come to represent his final ceIIuloid testament by extension: his finaI film masterpiece.
The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse [Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse] finds that diabolical Weimar name resurfacing in the Cold War era, Iinked to a new methodoIogy of murder and mayhem. Seances, assassinations, and Nazi-engineered surveillance tech aII abound in Lang s paranoid, and ultimate, filmic Iabyrinth.
One of the great and cherished "last fiIms" in the history of cinema, The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse provides a stylistic glimpse into the 1960s works on such subjects as sex-crime, youth-cuIture, and LSD that Lang wouId unfortunateIy never come to realise. Nonetheless, Lang s final fiIm remains an explosive, and definitive, closing statement. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fritz Lang s finaI film on Blu-ray.
