THE MOVIE "THE TESTAMENT OF DR. MABUSE" (1933) AS A FINAL WORK OF FILM DIRECTOR FRITZ LANG'S GERMAN PERIOD
The article analyses the artistic originality of Fritz Lang's movie “The Testament of Dr. Mabuse” in correlation with his early works. The paper concludes that just in this movie the author, formally staying in tune with the German expressionism techniques, abandons the models of world perception typical of this artistic trend and realizes in the realistic detective genre. The researcher justifies the denial of the traditional conception of the movie as an allegory aimed to denounce National Socialism policy.
