Die Nibelungen: Siegfried
A hero rides into a forest older than kings.
What
Theo Matejko's 1924 poster for the first film of Fritz Lang's Die Nibelungen, Siegfried.
Why
Lang's monumental two-part saga turned Germanic myth into vast, hieratic imagery of forests, dragons and doomed dynasties.
Notice
Notice the stylised, almost heraldic flattening of figure and landscape into pattern.
“Legend carved into stillness.”
