“Die Nibelungen: Kriemhild’s Revenge” is a silent film directed by Fritz Lang, released in 1924. It is the second part of Lang’s two-part series, the first being “Die Nibelungen: Siegfried.” It is considered one of the greatest artistic and technical achievements of the German silent cinema era. Lang’s adaptation of the epic poem “The Song of the Nibelungs” was a monumental task that showcased the capabilities of early cinema.
In the film “Die Nibelungen: Kriemhild’s Revenge,” Kriemhild’s character is portrayed by Margarete Schön as a figure of remorseless and implacable determination, seeking revenge for the murder of her husband, Siegfried. Her costume design plays a significant role in conveying this transformation from a grieving widow to a vengeful queen.
The costume obscures much of her, leaving her face, and particularly her eyes, to express the depth of Kriemhild’s emotions. This design choice emphasizes her intense gaze, which conveys her inner turmoil and unyielding resolve. The costume likely includes elements that are both regal and somber, reflecting her royal status and her dark purpose.
