Film series ‘Fritz Lang. The Sound Period’

The journey begins with M, the Vampire of Düsseldorf, a film that revolutionised the use of sound, silences and off-screen space to create unprecedented tension on screen. From there, the programme makes it possible to follow the evolution of a filmmaker who left behind the fantastical worlds of Expressionism to focus on more complex characters and deeply human conflicts.

The selection includes essential titles such as Fury and You and Me, as well as works made after his arrival in the United States, where he left a decisive mark on genres such as film noir, the western, the thriller and spy films. In all of them, he maintained an unmistakable gaze, marked by moral ambiguity, fate and extraordinarily precise staging.

More than a retrospective, this series invites audiences to discover how Fritz Lang redefined sound cinema and consolidated a body of work whose influence remains present in contemporary film.
