Sumario:In the present study we will carry out an investigation into the function of the femme fatale and femicide in Fritz Lang’s filmography, through a reading of the ethical, moral and religious aspects and his own conception as an author. To do this, we will make a comparison with a classic feature f ilm by Jean Renoir that Lang later remade, analyzing the issue of the objectification of the female body and the bourgeois frustration at not achieving the commodification of their desire. In this comparison we will see how tragedy and parody are modalities of adaptation and naturalization of patriarchal violence.
