“When I saw Destiny, I suddenly knew that I wanted to
make movies.” - Luis Buñuel
“THE DEFINITIVE RESTORATION.” - The New York Times
THE COMPLETE
METROPOLIS
FRITZ LANG’S
DESTINY
Incorporating more than 25
minutes of newly discovered
footage and narrative, this
is the definitive edition of
Fritz Lang’s science fiction
masterpiece. Backed by the
original 1927 score. The
film’s dazzling visual design
and special effects are more
striking than ever.
Also available is a shorter
version with pop music
by legendary producer
Giorgio Moroder.
A young woman confronts the personification of Death, in an effort to save the life
of her fiance. Death weaves three romantic
tragedies and offers to unite the girl with
her lover, if she can prevent the death of
the lovers in at least one of the episodes.
Restored on behalf of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung, this definitive
presentation of DESTINY preserves the
original German intertitles and simulates
the historic color tinting and toning.
Germany. 1921. 98 min. Tinted B&W. German intertitles w English subtitles.
