About film
Fritz Lang was a German filmmaker, who had lived and worked in the USA since 1934. One of the greatest German Expressionists, Lang created the most high-budget film in the history of silent movies and anticipated the esthetics of an American film noir. Fritz Lang is also known for his stories about criminal masterminds, psychiatrists, and hypnotists Caligari and Mabuse.
Lang was regarded as a genius, an egocentric sex maniac, and a sadist. Violence and love became the subjects that would not let go of Fritz Lang for the rest of his days.
