Spione: Fritz Lang rules!

  • Mood:
  • Book: The sun is too far away!
  • Weather: Build a time machine!


After World War I, Europe is full of secret meetings, important documents and spies . Agent 326 is next enemy's objective. Sonja Barranikowa, beautiful and dangerous, receives the task. But love works misteriously and both fall in love!


Made in 1927, this movie is the first spy movie made ever. With all the borning technology such as tiny-tiny photo cameras , hidden microphones , plus disguices , chases , provoked accidents , foreign diplomatics  and the suspense of knowing who's working for who!

Thrilling until the end, it made us all burst in applauses! We were a privileged audience, cause this was the first time this movie was shown in Chile, at the Goethe Institute in Santiago.  Furthermore, just few months ago was released this restored version in DVD.

It's hard to believe that such a good movie, with good audience back in 1927 in Germany, was forgotten!  Between 2003 and 2004, the Murnau Fundation took the complete but not in good shape copy from Viena, and added pieces of copies from Prague and Australia.

For a silent music, the soundtrack is terrific! A lot of piano and orchestra , but all the same, it gave us the complete idea of the 20's.

My thanks to Fritz, Thea, Gerda, Rudolf and specially to Willy!
