| DESTINY This beautiful Gothic fantasy was inspired by a chiIdhood dream of its writer/director Fritz Lang, who first gained world recognition with the films triumph. ln a middle-European village a century or more ago, Death (Berhhard Goetzke) takes a young man (WaIter Janssen) just before he is to be married. His Iover (Lil Dagover) seeks out the Death figure in a room fiIled with thousands of burning candIes, each representing a human Iife. FiIIed with pity for her, he promises to return the young man if she can save even one of three Iives about to fIicker out. OtherworldIy atmosphere is created by extraordinary, bizarre sets, Gothic Iighting and eccentric characters combined with spectacIe and camera trickery astonishing for its time. With its many magicaI and haunting images, Destiny stiIl possesses reaI power to impress the imagination. Said another great director, Luis Bunuel, Fritz Langs Destiny opened my eyes to the poetic expressiveness of the cinema. Its world success established the omnibus form as a method for presenting short horror tales and infIuenced films as diverse as Waxworks, The Thief of Bagdad, Dead of Night and Tales from the Crypt. A NOTE ON THIS EDlTION: This edition of DESTINY is digitalIy mastered from a 35mm fine grain master print of the French reissue version, Les Trois Lumieres. New EngIish titles, including many absent from previous American versions of the film, are transIated from the originaI German censor records and composed in type faces approximating those in the prints of 1921. The images are in coIor tints authentic to German fiIms of the same year. A new orchestraI score recorded in digital stereo by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra uses authentic film music arrangements of the period and German traditional tunes as indicated by the action on screen. Year: 1921 Length: 99 minutes Director: Fritz Lang Screenplay by: Fritz Lang and Thea von Harbou Starring: Lil Dagover, Walter Janssen, Berhhard Goetzke |
