WUD Film Presents: Metropolis (1927)

Germany | 148 min | NR | BluRay | Dir. Fritz Lang

"In a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city's mastermind falls in love with a working-class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences." -IMDb

"The film has, in consequence, a remarkable pictorial power, and, in spite of its occasional solemnities, is one which will well repay study by those who are interested in the development of a separate cinematographic technique." - Times (UK)
