The film, also understood as a reflection of postwar trauma, captivates with its original visual language and atmosphere, enhanced by period tinting techniques that have been carefully restored as part of an extensive digital restoration.<\/p>\n\n<p>\n  \n<\/p>\n<p>The screening of this masterwork will be accompanied live on the lute by Dutch musician Jozef van Wissem, whose hypnotic playing amplifies the dreamlike and timeless power of Lang\u2019s film. Wissem is best known to audiences for his collaboration with American independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. For his music to Jarmusch\u2019s film Only Lovers Left Alive, Wissem received the top prize for Best Soundtrack at the Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n\n<p>\n  \n<\/p>\n<p>Destiny is structured into chapters, each with its own atmosphere and visual world, beginning with the poetic \u201cTale of the First Light.\u201d The narrative moves across different parts of the world, allowing the musical accompaniment to \u201ctravel\u201d alongside the film on an independent path. In his interpretation, Jozef van Wissem draws on the regional folk music of the places depicted in the individual segments, while simultaneously updating it with modern musical ideas. In doing so, he underscores the film\u2019s central theme: love is stronger than death.<\/p>\n\n<p>\n  \n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Masterclass: Jozef van Wissem <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>On Friday, January 23, 2026 at 7:00 PM, the Prague Film Institute will host a masterclass by Jozef van Wissem, the author of the captivating soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch\u2019s film Only Lovers Left Alive.
