Kevin Thomas / Remembering Fritz Lang

Filmmakers in the indie, experimental, foreign, avant-garde and documentary fields desperately need critics. Lacking money for a promotional campaign and forced to rely on word-of-mouth, these filmmakers have found no better friend over the past 40-plus years than Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times. Thomas, one of the few people in Hollywood to befriend the legendary Fritz Lang, will share his personal rememberances of the director who brought us Metropolis, M, Die Nibelungen, The Big Heat and The Blue Gardenia.
