Frau im Mond
Fritz Lang
Frau im Mond Woman in the Moon [videorecording]= Woman in the Moon Fritz Lang - Germany Fritz Lang-Film Universum Film (UFA) Kino on Video 2004 - 1 videodisc (ca. 169 min.) sound, black & white. 4 3/4 in.
Based on the novel "Frau im Mond" by Thea von Harbou.
Two years after revolutionizing the science fiction film with his epic "Metropolis," director Fritz Lang revisited the genre with an ambitious spectacle that dramatizes the first lunar expedition. Rather than a flight of pure fantasy, Lang, screenwriter Thea von Harbou and a group of technical consultants conceived a modernized "Trip to the Moon" grounded in state-of-the-art astrophysics. Spiced with romance and espionage (including a network of diabolical super-spies straight out of Lang's Mabuse films), "Woman in the Moon" was one of the most influential science fiction films of its era. Newly restored from 35mm archival elements, this edition includes more footage than any version previously seen in the U.S.
DVD video, Dolby Digital 2.0, stereo, NTSC, Regions 1-8, 4:3 fullscreen.
Silent with English intertitles.
