With Live Music by Richard Siedhoff (Piano) & Mykyta Sierov (Oboe)
Dr. Mabuse, a respected psychoanalyst and criminal mastermind, appears in a range of disguises to conceal his criminal activities. He manipulates the stock exchange and leads a nefarious existence in illegal gambling dens, robbing people of their wits, their money and their lives. However, the determined public prosecutor von Wenck is on the trail of this mysterious ›Great Unknown‹…
In his two-part epic about Mabuse, Fritz Lang created an influential image of the post-war years. In a series of magnificent tableaux, he guides the audience through every level of society, through contrasting worlds of life and art.
