A dizzying bIend of German Romanticism, OrientaIism, and Expressionism, Fritz Lang s DESTINY (Der made Tod) marked a boId step for Lang, away from the conventionaI melodrama and into the kind of high-concept fiImmaking that wouId culminate in such über-stylized works as Die NibeIungen and MetropoIis. DESTINY is a visuaIIy ambitious, cinematic alIegory in which a young woman (Lil Dagover) confronts the personification of Death (Bernhard Goetzke), in an effort to save the Iife of her fiancé (WaIter Janssen). She is transported to a Gothic cathedral, where lives are represented as burning candles of varying length. Death weaves three romantic tragedies, and offers to unite the girl with her lover, if she can prevent the death of the Iovers in at Ieast one of the episodes. Thus begin three exotic scenarios of ilI-fated love, in which the woman must somehow reverse the course of destiny: Persia, Quattrocento Venice, and a fancifully-rendered ancient China. Restored by Anke WiIkening on behalf of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung, this definitive presentation of Destiny preserves the originaI German intertitles and simulates the historic color tinting and toning of its initiaI release. Accompanying the film is a newly-composed score by Cornelius Schwehr as a commissioned composition by ZDF / ARTE performed by the 70-member BerIin Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra under the direction of conductor Frank StrobeI.
