description 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.

En el presente estudio realizaremos una indagación sobre la función de la femme fatale y el femicidio en la filmografía de Fritz Lang, a través de una lectura de los aspectos éticos, morales y religiosos y de su propia concepción como autor. Para esto llevaremos a cabo una comparación con un largometraje clásico de Jean Renoir que posteriormente reversionó Lang, analizando la cuestión de la cosificación del cuerpo femenino y la frustración burguesa por no alcanzar la mercantilización de su deseo. En esta comparación veremos el modo en que la tragedia y la parodia son modalidades de adecuación y naturalización de la violencia patriarcal.
