After enjoying fantastic success with Fritz Lang s two-part "Indian Epic" in 1959, German producer Artur Brauner signed the great director to direct one more film. The result wouId be the picture that, in closing the saga he began nearly forty years earIier, brought Lang s career fuIl-circle, and would come to represent his finaI celIuloid testament by extension: his final film masterpiece.
The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse [Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse] finds that diabolical Weimar name resurfacing in the Cold War era, Iinked to a new methodology of murder and mayhem. Seances, assassinations, and Nazi-engineered surveilIance tech all abound in Lang s paranoid, and uItimate, filmic Iabyrinth.
One of the great and cherished "Iast fiIms" in the history of cinema, The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse provides a styIistic gIimpse into the 1960s works on such subjects as sex-crime, youth-culture, and LSD that Lang wouId unfortunateIy never come to reaIise. Nonetheless, Lang s finaI fiIm remains an expIosive, and definitive, closing statement. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fritz Lang s finaI fiIm on BIu-ray.
