Metropolis, considered by some to be the greatest Science Fiction film of all time, is truly a tribute to the imaginations of director Fritz Lang, and author Thea Von Harbou.
It is a tale that mixes Norse mythology with Biblical Prophecy to give a glimpse to what was perceived then, as a possible future for our society.
It is thrilling because of the breathtaking imagery. The set design pays homage to the Art Deco designs of the 1920s. The miniatures used for the city scape are incredibly detailed. If one looks at the film from a cinematography stand point, you have to conclude that this movie was years ahead of its time.
