Metropolis - Fritz Lang

I wanted to see this movie since… well, can’t even say since when! I could have looked for it on DVD, but what I really waited for was a chance of seeing it in a theatre. The chance materialized this week as the movie was included in the schedule of a local CineForum.

Metropolis, by Fritz Lang, did not disappoint me a bit. “Visionary” is the term that better describes the impression I had. “Masterpiece”, another term often used for it, is equally deserved.

I’m still trying to fully understand which political/social perspective it conveyed to the Germany of 1927…
