with one movie "lost", I'd doubt you get to see the trilogy

Hitler banned the Golem movies, in case you're interested

He also banned most Fritz Lang movies after Lang deserted Germany, except for the Uber Alles "Metropolis" and "Die Nibellungen" (both written by Nazi sympathiser and Lang's ex-wife Thea Harbour)

I have a strong interest in Weimar-era silent German films
Do you know why he banned them?

Like I mentioned earlier, the main characters are Jewish. I'm sure that has something to do with it.

The Golem is a Jewish myth/legend. He is given life by the Star of David amulet to help abused and mistreated people.

As for Lang, "The Testament of Dr. Mabuse" is a direct metaphor for the Nazi Menace.

And also, it contains the blueprint for bringing Berlin to ruins and Germany with it.
