A criminal mastermind (Rudolph Klein-Rogge), though in a lunatic asylum, spouts Nazi slogans and uses hypnotism to dominate the underworld of Weimar Germany.

More watchable than its predecessor, with a more comprehensible narrative, better pace and impressive set-pieces (a high-speed car chase at night, an underwater explosion) - but it’s primitive by modern standards. Almost certainly intended as an allegory about the mind-control being exerted over Germany by Hitler, the film was unsurprisingly banned by Goebbels. Goebbels was, however, a fan of Lang’s Metropolis and offered him the leadership of the German film industry. Lang took this invitation as his cue to make a precipitate, overnight disappearance from his fatherland.
