Encounter with Fritz Lang(1964)

An interview with film director Fritz Lang.

Encounter with Fritz Lang is a documentary capturing an intimate interview with the legendary German director on the rooftop of Villa Malaparte in Capri. Filmed during production of Jean-Luc Godard's Contempt—where Lang himself appears as an aging film director—the conversation explores his artistic vision and legacy. The documentary intersperses clips from Lang's most influential works, including The Nibelungen, The Tired Death, and M, offering viewers a rare glimpse into the mind of one of cinema's greatest innovators. This is essential viewing for anyone interested in film history and the evolution of German expressionism.
