Visual Fritz biography

This film is one of the best 54-minute biographies of Fritz Lang. It pulls no punches and covers the positives and negatives of his movie career. The format is a sound bite. One point or part of his life will be discussed by five people. Then the next part of his life will be discussed by the same five people. It would have been more coherent if one person at a time covered his life. Even though it is not evident from the packaging, this film has English captions that you will want to activate. One third is in English, one third in German, and one third in French. As they cover the different films in each era, they also speak that language. My favorite part is when they tell of Fritz embellishing the story of his meeting with Goebbels in 1933 and why he left Nazi Germany. The film is also filled with snippets of his various films. To get more in-depth, you should read “Fritz Lang” by Lotte H. Eisner.
