Woman in the Moon

Please note, a new edition will be released on DVD and Blu-ray early 2016

Two years after revolutionizing the science fiction film with his epic Metropolis, director Fritz Lang revisited the genre with an ambitious spectacle that dramatizes the first lunar expedition. Rather than a flight of pure fantasy, Lang, screenwriter Thea von Harbou and a group of technical consultants conceived a modernized "Trip to the Moon" grounded in state-of-the-art astrophysics. Spiced with romance and espionage (including a network of diabolical super-spies straight out of Lang1s Mabuse films), Woman in the Moon was one of the most influential science fiction films of its era.

Newly restored from 35mm archival elements, this edition includes more footage than any version previously seen in the U.S.
