5.0 out of 5 stars
In-depth Fritz with pictures,
By
This review is from: Fritz Lang (Hardcover)
You already now something of Fritz Lang or you would not be reading this. Lotte Eisner goes further in depth in which Fritz is and what he has accomplished through the years.
There is a small Fritz Lang: Autobiography Then the book is chronologically divided between the German years 1919-1933 and the American period of 1936-1956. Then it goes to the German years of 1959-60. Because I have a large collection of German silent films this book is a must in helping understand those messages that are not intrinsic to the viewer.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Void of any real content,
By MortIIsManiac (A dark dungeon in Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fritz Lang (Da Capo Paperback) (Paperback)
I picked this book up awhile back, it was pretty thick so I looked forward to reading it. Once I got around to it I was pretty suprised. The book lists ever movie Lang made and then gives 4 to 5 pages of text and pictures. The majority of this text just describes scenes from the movie. Now, the question is A) If you havnt watched one of the movies why would you spoil it by reading about its scenes? and B) If you have watched one of the movies why would you read a description of something you've already seen? The sections of the book that are unlike this a very short and hardly worth looking at. To me this seems like a cofee-table book, only much longer, and less usefull.
