FRITZ LANG DIRECTOR COLLECTION – 5 CLASSIC FILMS DVD SET

SEO Title

Fritz Lang – Director Collection

Experience five extraordinary works from Fritz Lang, one of the most influential filmmakers in cinema history.

From the monumental futuristic world of Metropolis to the criminal mastermind of Dr. Mabuse, the mythic spectacle of Die Nibelungen, the supernatural fantasy of Destiny, and the dark American noir of Scarlet Street, this collection follows Lang across more than two decades of groundbreaking filmmaking.

Lang helped shape German Expressionism, science fiction, psychological crime drama and film noir, creating images and themes that continue to influence filmmakers generations later.

This special 5-film collector collection brings together silent epics, crime thrillers, fantasy and noir in one impressive physical DVD edition.

INCLUDED FILMS

1. Metropolis (1927)

Starring: Gustav Fröhlich, Brigitte Helm, Alfred Abel, Rudolf Klein-Rogge

In an enormous futuristic city, wealthy industrialists live high above the workers who operate the machinery below.

Freder, the privileged son of the city's ruler, discovers the terrible conditions endured by the workers and becomes fascinated by Maria, a young woman preaching peace between the classes.

But the creation of a mysterious mechanical duplicate of Maria threatens to plunge the entire city into chaos.

With monumental sets, spectacular miniatures and the unforgettable Maschinenmensch robot, Metropolis remains one of silent cinema's great visual achievements.

2. Dr. Mabuse the Gambler (1922)

Original Title: Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler

Starring: Rudolf Klein-Rogge, Aud Egede-Nissen, Gertrude Welcker, Alfred Abel

Criminal mastermind Dr. Mabuse uses hypnosis, disguise, manipulation and an enormous underground organization to control victims throughout Berlin.

Gambling halls, secret identities, financial manipulation and psychological warfare combine in Fritz Lang's sprawling crime epic.

The film introduced one of cinema's earliest great criminal masterminds—a character Lang would return to years later.

3. Die Nibelungen (1924)

Starring: Paul Richter, Margarete Schön, Hanna Ralph, Theodor Loos

Fritz Lang transforms the legendary Germanic Nibelungen saga into a monumental silent-screen fantasy.

Heroic warriors, royal courts, dragons, treasure, betrayal, revenge and tragedy fill one of the silent era's most ambitious productions.

Originally created as a two-part epic, the film is celebrated for its enormous sets, elaborate costumes and striking geometric compositions.

4. Scarlet Street (1945)

Starring: Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Dan Duryea

Mild-mannered cashier Christopher Cross lives an ordinary existence until he becomes infatuated with the beautiful Kitty March.

Believing that she returns his affection, Cross becomes increasingly entangled with Kitty and her manipulative boyfriend Johnny.

Deception, stolen artwork, obsession and murder gradually transform an apparent romance into a bleak film-noir tragedy.

Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett and Dan Duryea form one of classic noir's most memorable screen combinations.

5. Destiny (1921)

Original Title: Der müde Tod

Starring: Lil Dagover, Bernhard Goetzke, Walter Janssen

A young woman desperately attempts to save the man she loves after Death carries him away.

Death offers her an extraordinary challenge: if she can save one life from three separate stories unfolding across different times and places, her lover may be returned to her.

Romance, fantasy, sacrifice and supernatural imagery combine in one of Lang's most visually imaginative early films.

FILM NOTES & COLLECTOR INTEREST

Fritz Lang's career stretched from the final years of silent cinema through the golden age of Hollywood.

His German films became landmarks of visual storytelling, frequently exploring crime, fate, technology, surveillance, power and the darker side of human nature.

After leaving Germany, Lang continued directing in Hollywood, where his visually shadowed crime dramas became important examples of American film noir.

This collection provides an excellent overview of several distinct periods of his filmmaking career.
