Paracelsus 1943: Fliegenbein's "Dance of Death" (Totentanz)

[@Eike2002]

Bin hier, weil Daniel Kehlmann diese Szene in "Lichtspiel" so ausdrucksstark schildert. Toll, dass man es hier sehen kann!

They've got "St. Vitus Dance"!. The dancer, Kreutzberg, later popped up on a NUTCRACKER special shown in the US.

It could be a reason why third reich movies are absent in official discussion about art. They gave too much inspiration.

Hidden gems of German cinema. Appears to be a Amazing movie of vision ahead of its time.. crazy how one man , one propoganda minister held complete control of the output of war year German cinema.

Can someone explain me what is happening?

[@NerdyWillowTree]

Fliegenbein leading the dance and everyone else following as though they were in a trance symbolises the spreading of the plague. Paracelsus identifies him as a carrier, because he has seen him in every city where the plague broke out. When he tumbles around and the people want to grab him he yells "Don't touch him! He has the plague!" The rest is probably self explanatory, the grim reaper appears to claim him, but Paracelsus fends him off. He intends to cure Fliegenbein.

[@aliciasantamaria9772]

this was a coreography from Kreutzberg or from Mary Wigman?

[@patstone7722]

It definitely reminds me of Mary Wigman's famous "Which Dance."

[@OneTheBlue]

Looks like Anthony Kiedis, doing Michael Jackson Moves.

[@satordwellerr]

Who's here from Ali Smith lmao

[@hebneh]

Since I don't speak German, I have no idea what anyone is saying here - but people gradually being drawn into a jerky, spasmodic mass bewitched dance seems very subversive for the strict Nazi censorship to have allowed. Maybe the man who started it all was revealed to be a dangerous element who was fortunately identified before he could do more damage to the good German people in this tavern. They certainly fled from him in terror once the other man examined him.

[@thomaschristoph9139]

He came to town which was locked because of the plague and brought it to the citizens.....the whole film is on KZbin
