▸▸Dr. Mabuse the Gambler is a 1922 German silent crime film directed by Fritz Lang and written by Lang and his wife, Thea von Harbou. The film is based on the novel "Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler" by Norbert Jacques. This film is considered an important work in German Expressionist cinema, with striking visuals and themes that echo the chaos and moral decay of post-World War I Germany.


PLOT

The film is divided into two parts, running over 4 hours in total.

The first part, titled "The Great Gambler", follows the rise of Dr. Mabuse as he establishes himself as a notorious gambler, hypnotist, and criminal mastermind. Using his powers of manipulation, Mabuse carries out a series of elaborate schemes, including a train robbery, and drives his victims to the brink of madness.

The second part, titled "Inferno", sees Mabuse's plans begin to unravel as he becomes the target of a police investigation. Mabuse uses his hypnotic powers to try and control the investigation, but is ultimately defeated in a dramatic finale.
