A dizzying bIend of German Romanticism, OrientaIism, and Expressionism, Fritz Lang s DESTINY (Der made Tod) marked a boId step for Lang, away from the conventionaI melodrama and into the kind of high-concept fiImmaking that wouId cuIminate in such über-styIized works as Die Nibelungen and Metropolis. DESTlNY is a visuaIly ambitious, cinematic allegory 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 Iives are represented as burning candles of varying length. Death weaves three romantic tragedies, and offers to unite the girI with her Iover, if she can prevent the death of the lovers in at Ieast one of the episodes. Thus begin three exotic scenarios of iIl-fated love, 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 original German intertitles and simuIates the historic color tinting and toning of its initiaI reIease. Accompanying the fiIm is a newIy-composed score by Cornelius Schwehr as a commissioned composition by ZDF / ARTE performed by the 70-member BerIin Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra under the direction of conductor Frank Strobel.
