Early expressionist movie by Fritz Lang, which is said to have inspired Alfred Hitchcock, Luis Bunuel and others.

ImDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0012494/?ref_=nv_sr_1

German silent movie, this version with english subtitles.

The german title translates into "The Weary Death", which is a reminiscence of the 30-year-war that took place in Germany from 1618-1648. There was a saying then, that so many were killed (1/3 of the population), even death himself got tired of doing his work.

The plot is actually about love beyond death and resembles the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
