If you loved Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler, try Spies

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Fritz Lang, and they both carry the foreign gem, paranoid mood tags, and they sit in Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Spies is

Berlin. Rain slicked streets. A single discarded glove. Hired to steal state secrets, a beautiful spy falls for the handsome man tasked to stop her. Their dangerous affair risks exposing a network of subterfuge run by a criminal overlord. Lang’s silent thriller anticipates Bond by decades.
