Der müde Tod

From Fritz Lang

With LIL DAGOVER, BERNHARD GOETZKE, WALTER JANSSEN, PAUL REHKOPF, KARL PLATEN, HANS STERNBERG, CARL RÜCKERT

Year 1921

Duration 98 min.

"The characteristic of all my films is the fight against fate. The important thing is the fight, not fate." In this film, a young woman is given the chance to wrest the life of her deceased lover from death. To do so, she has to save a life in three different places and at three different times. Her odyssey takes her to the Orient, Venice and faraway China - but her chances dwindle from time to time ... Even here, the penchant for opulence that characterises Lang's upcoming "big films" shines through. But despite all the splendour, the Harbou/Lang team succeed in creating something that goes beyond the visual narrative level: a coherent reflection on the traumas of the First World War and the irrepressible urge of people to survive. A favourite film by Luis Buñuel.
