LANG, FRITZ - DVD-EPIC COLLECTION [5 DISCS]

Details

• Genre: Concert Film
• Plot: A Five-Disc Set Devoted To The Supreme Stylist To The German Silent Cinema; ; Metropolis; Metropolis takes place in 2026, when the populace is divided between workers who must live in the dark underground and the rich who enjoy a futuristic city of splendor.; ; Die Nibelungen; Fritz Lang's monumental Die Nibelungen is a passionate retelling of Nordic legend, invested with all the resources of the colossal Ufa Studios. Scripted by Lang's wife at the time, Thea von Harbou (Metropolis), Siegfried establishes larger-than-life heroic characters who are defined by tests of valor and rigid codes of honor. In order to win the hand of Kriemhild (Margerete Schoen), Siegfried (Paul Richter) must win a bride for her brother, King Gunther (Theodor Loos). Kriemhild's Revenge begins after the death of Siegfried, and weaves the treacherous tale of his widow's ungodly vengeance upon his murderers. The noble qualities of the first film become liabilities in the second, as the blood oaths and vows of loyality bring about a maelstrom of violence that results in the slaughter of entire armies.; ; Spies; Rudolf Kleine-Rogge stars as Haghi, the head of an elaborate criminal empire, and Willy Fritsch is the undercover agent assigned to topple the diabolical king from his throne.; ; Woman In The Moon; Two years after revolutionizing the science fiction film with his epic Metropolis, director Fritz Land revisited the genre with an ambitious spectacle that dramatizes the first lunar expedition.
