| From "M" to "Rancho Notorious," from "Metropolis" to "Moonfleet," the films of Fritz Lang are an important part of the history of cinema. From his first film, "The Spiders," in 1919 to "M" and his meeting with Goebbels in 1933, the first phase of his career was set in Germany, where he returned twenty-five years later to shoot his last three films. It was during his German period that the director developed his distinctive directorial style. In "Fritz Lang: Circle of Destiny," those who knew the man and his work best reveal the secrets behind his craft. This biographical documentary profiles the great German director Fritz Lang (M, METROPOLIS). From the very beginning of his career, when Lang was involved in the prevailing forms of German Expressionism, through his expatriation during the rule of the Nazis, and his return to Germany for his final films, the story of Fritz Lang is told through interviews and film footage. |
