THIS superb dvd set is a must for all collectors of Fritz Lang's silent masterpieces. Alas, thus far, it is only available on Region 1 NTSC encoding (US & Canada); the rest of us have either to get a Regio 1 player or wait in hope for a release on Region 2. Why the studio couldn't think of a world outside of the window of the US is beyond me. For it is a beautifully packaged set, befitting the work of the greatest film director of the 20th-century.
It spans his work from 1924 to 1930.
The set contains:
The sci-fi masterpiece that still stands as a monument to both the ingenuity of the UFA art department and Lang's vision as a film-maker. It is the most famous and influential silent ever made; much of modern culture emanates from this film, from Kraftwerk to Kylie and all that lays in-between ... movie: further details
Lang's adaptation of the 13th-century German saga is a superb example of the craftsmanship at the UFA studios ... movie: further details
Perhaps the most under-rated of Fritz Lang's silent spectacles ... movie: further details
One of the last silent films made in Germany with some sinister Langian touches
