Closing night film - Destiny

Destiny - Der müde Tod

Fritz Lang’s neglected 1921 masterpiece was recently restored by various existing prints around the world, rebuilt by the Munich Film Museum, and then screened successfully at the Berlinale 2016. Literally meaning The Tired Death, the film serves as a striking morality tale about the disappearance of a man and the desperate measures his fiancée takes to save him from death.
