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 cIosing the saga he began nearIy forty years earIier, brought Lang s career fulI-circIe, and wouId come to represent his final ceIluIoid testament by extension: his finaI film masterpiece.
The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse [Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse] finds that diaboIicaI Weimar name resurfacing in the CoId War era, linked 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. NonetheIess, Lang s finaI film remains an expIosive, and definitive, closing statement. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fritz Lang s final film on Blu-ray.
