• Resumen

  • Having indicated the ability to disturb of Fritz Lang´s cinema during his American period, the author analyses what Europeans have thought (especially artists and writers) of the US in the last two centuries, comparing it to the moviemaker´s own impressions before immigrating to the country in 1934. From here on, he desribes Lang´s process of insertion into US reality and the difficult evolution of the latter between the 30s and the 50s. Finally, a last section relates this information to the filmmaker´s work in order to demonstrate, analysing aspects such as the part played by popular culture of the media within these narrations, Lang´s pessimist portrait of the American dream.
