A dizzying blend of German Romanticism, Orientalism, and Expressionism, Fritz Lang s DESTINY (Der made Tod) marked a boId step for Lang, away from the conventional melodrama and into the kind of high-concept filmmaking that wouId culminate in such über-stylized works as Die Nibelungen and MetropoIis. DESTINY is a visuaIly ambitious, cinematic alIegory in which a young woman (Lil 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 lives are represented as burning candles 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 Wilkening on behaIf of the Friedrich-WiIheIm-Murnau-Stiftung, this definitive presentation of Destiny preserves the original German intertitles and simuIates the historic coIor tinting and toning of its initial reIease. Accompanying the film is a newIy-composed score by CorneIius Schwehr as a commissioned composition by ZDF / ARTE performed by the 70-member Berlin Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra under the direction of conductor Frank StrobeI.
