DR. MABUSE, DER SPIELER I

August 25, 2022

Fritz Lang’s DR. MABUSE, DER SPIELER I (DR. MABUSE, THE GAMBLER, PART I) not only presented world cinema with one of its first supervillains exactly 100 years ago, but also placed him on a socially critical plateau that held a mirror up to the post-war society of the young Weimar Republic, which Lang saw as degenerate. Jeff Mills, a pioneer of techno and electronic music, provides the musical accompaniment to DR. MABUSE live, with a world premiere of his new score. read more
