The Thousand Eyes Of Dr. Mabuse (Region B)
After enjoying fantastic success with Fritz Langâs two-part âIndian Epicâ in 1959, German producer Artur Brauner signed the great director to direct one more film. The result would be the picture that, in closing the saga he began nearly forty years earlier, brought Langâs career full-circle, and would come to represent his final celluloid testamentâby extension: his final film masterpiece.
Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse [The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse] finds that diabolical Weimar name resurfacing in the Cold War era, linked to a new methodology of murder and mayhem. Seances, assassinations, and Nazi-engineered surveillance techâall abound in Langâs paranoid, and ultimate, filmic labyrinth.
One of the great and cherished âlast filmsâ in the history of cinema, Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse provides a stylistic glimpse into the 1960s works on such subjects as sex-crime, youth-culture, and LSD that Lang would unfortunately never come to realise. Nonetheless, Langâs final film remains an explosive, and definitive, closing statement. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fritz Langâs final film on Blu-ray.
