Metropolis


Short post today as I have a TON of stuff that I have to do in the morning.

The BBC reports that an original METROPOLIS poster (one of only four) has sold for a record of $690,000. Yikes!

METROPOLIS (Fritz Lang, 1927) to this day still is a visual tour de force. German Expressionism mixed together with an Art Deco/Futurist spirit during the height of silent filmmaking. A few resonating images that come to mind are; the children rushing to save themselves, the workers at the factory, and of course, the amazing shots of the city.
