Der müde Tod (1921)
Der müde Tod ist eine freie Adaption des deutschen Märchens vom Gevatter Tod, der einem jungen Mann die Chance gibt, den Tod zu besiegen. Der Regisseur Fritz Lang erweiterte dieses Motiv um eine weitere, kinotaugliche Frage: Ist Liebe stärker als der Tod? In drei Episoden erzählt er die Geschichte einer jungen Frau, die ihren Geliebten vor dem Tod zu retten versucht.
