Fritz Lang : Interviews

Attribution
edited by Barry Keith Grant
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Mississippi, 2003
Description
The films of Fritz Lang depict an entrapping, claustrophobic world in which people are controlled by larger forces. His life and work spanned six decades of film history—from the silent era through the golden age of German Expressionism of the 1920s and the classic studio system in Hollywood to the rise of the international co-production.

Description
Julian Rushton offers a concise and up-to-date biography of this musical genius, combining a well-researched life of the composer with an introduction to the works–symphonic, chamber, sacred, and theatrical–of one of the few musicians in history to have written undisputed masterpieces across every genre of his time.
