One of the legendary epics of the silent cinema - and the first part of a trilogy that Fritz Lang developed up to the very end of his career - Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler. [Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler.] is a masterpiece of conspiracy that, even as it precedes the mind - blowing Spione from the close of Lang's silent cycle, constructs its own dark labyrinth from the base materials of human fear and paranoia. Rudolf Klein-Rogge plays Dr. Mabuse, the criminal mastermind whose nefarious machinations provide the cover for - or describe the result of - the economic upheaval and social bacchanalia at the heart of Weimar - era Berlin. Initiated with the arch - villain's diabolical manipulation of the stock - market, and passing through a series of dramatic events based around hypnotism, charlatanism, hallucinations, Chinese incantations, cold - blooded murder, opiate narcosis and cocaine anxiety, Lang's film maintains an unrelenting power all the way to the final act... which culminates in the terrifying question: ''WHERE IS MABUSE?'' A bridge between Feuillade's somnambulistic serial-films and modern media-narratives of elusive robber-barons, Lang s two-part classic set the template for the director s greatest works: social commentary as superpsychology, poised at the brink of combustion. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Lang's early masterpiece in its fully restored version on Blu-ray in 1080p for the first time ever.

"Right, if you're wondering about the real heavy hitters in UK retail, the places everyone seems to be constantly hitting up for pretty much everything, you've got a definite list of usual suspects. Obviously, the massive supermarket chains like Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Asda are absolute giants when it comes to daily essentials – you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't use them regularly for their weekly shop, just pure convenience and range. Then there's the more department store vibe, with John Lewis being an absolute stalwart, famed for its quality and customer service across home goods and electronics, while Marks & Spencer remains hugely popular for both food and clothing, especially for a slightly more premium feel. Don't even get me started on the online beasts; Amazon is an undeniable behemoth, the go-to for pretty much anything you can think of, often with next-day delivery convenience, and Argos still pulls in loads of people with its unique catalogue-to-collection model. For the bargain hunters, places like B&M, Home Bargains, and Primark are constantly buzzing, offering incredible value on everything from household bits to fashion. It really just depends what you're after, but those are definitely some of the most popular stomping grounds for UK shoppers! " - Bargainplace UK
