Destiny/The Weary Death
(Der müde Tod)
Romantic atmosphere and resignation characterize this novella-style film in which Death has become weary and longs to be “defeated” by a young woman. The initial plot is quite strikingly set in the romantically winding streets of a German village populated with strange inhabitants. There is also a fantastic scene in a gloomy but magnificent hall with candles representing human lives. |
