Movie description
METROPOLIS, a visionary and elaborate spectacle by director Fritz Lang is an epic projection of a futuristic city divided into a working and an elite class. Its exhilarating climax brings the city to its knees, as the classes clash against each other. In the 21st century, a de-humanized proletariat labors non-stop in a miserable subterranean city beneath a luxurious city of mile-high skyscrapers, flying automobiles, palatial architectural idylls, tubes and tunnels. With stunningly inventive special effects, Lang's allegorical narrative and architectural vision creates a highly stylized vision of a not-so-unlikely future (especially for 1926 when the film was made). As the elite frolic above the clouds, thousands of miserable workers toil night and day inside the belly of the gigantic machine that runs the entire city. Metropolis is controlled by a sinister authoritarian whose son, Freder, rejects his father's callous philosophy and attitude towards laborers. Meek though they are, the workers are encouraged by Maria, a wistful young woman who wills her comrades to embrace patience and silent strength. Upon discovering her influence upon the workers, a mad scientist kidnaps Maria and creates a robot in her image that will incite the workers to revolt. As Freder races against time to save Maria and curtail the damage done by her doppelganger robot, Metropolis is enveloped in chaos and the classes are brought together in a breathtaking and highly moralistic climax.

Notes
METROPOLIS was released in Germany on January 10th, 1927. METROPOLIS was Fritz Lang's last silent film. METROPOLIS was the most expensive film ever made at its time. METROPOLIS was filmed at the UFA studios in Berlin in 1925-26. Fritz Lang was said to have conceived of Metropolis after a visit to the skyscrapers in New York City. Among the cast of Metropolis were 750 secondary actors and more than 30,000 extras.
Editorial reviews
"...Hallucinatory -- A nightmare without the reassurance of a steadying story line. Few films have ever been more visually exhilarating..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (03/29/1998) "...METROPOLIS has influenced both the genre and cinema itself to a degree that's difficult to overstate....[A] still-vital wellspring of creative inspiration..." Box Office - Michael Tunison (12/01/2002) "...From THE MATRIX back to BLADE RUNNER and even before, the movie has been a constant visual influence..." USA Today - Mike Clark (02/28/2003) "...The story, told in a flow of grandly visionary visuals, is as simple as myth..." Entertainment Weekly - Troy Patterson (02/28/2003) "...The visuals -- and the vision -- are breathtaking..." Premiere - Premiere Staff (12/01/2003)
