F. Lang shaped film history, especially in the era of the last silent films and the early sound films, setting new aesthetic and technical standards. His silent films tell utopian and fantastic stories staged in an expressive gloomy atmosphere. The silent film “Metropolis” (1927) and the sound film “M” (1931) are among the milestones of German and international film history.
