Editorial Review:
Product Description: It is the future & humans are divided into two groups: the thinkers who make plans (but dont know how anything works) & the workers who achieve goals (but dont have the vision). One man from the thinkers dares visit the underground where the workers toil & is astonished by what he sees.. Studio: Kino International Release Date: 11/09/2004 Run time: 124 minutes
Amazon.com essential video: Fritz Lang's Metropolis belongs to legend as much as to cinema. It's a milestone of sci-fi and German expressionism. Yet the story makes minimal sense, and the "theme" belongs in a fortune cookie; to experience the film's pagan power, you have to see the movie. But for decades we couldn't, not really--not with so many versions, all incomplete, often in public-domain prints like smudged photocopies. This Murnau Foundation restoration changes all that. Some shots, scenes, and subplots may be lost forever, but intertitles indicate how they fit into the original continuity and the characters' individual trajectories. Most crucially, the images are crisp, vibrant, and three-dimensional instead of murky and flattened. The composite sequences (the Tower of Babel, a sea of lusting eyes) have been restored to their hallucinatory ferocity. And there's one moment when you can see a bead of sweat roll down a man's cheek--in medium long-shot. --Richard T. Jameson

The commentaries accompanying films can range from awful (WALKABOUT) to very good (SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER) to "gotta own it" (METROPOLIS). The critic who did this commentary obviously knows Lang's work like the back of his hand and does a marvelous job of pointing out the significance of Lang's cinematic choices. I suggest you ...

Who would have guessed that a silent film from nearly a hundred years ago would still be one of the most poignant science fiction films ever created? Proving that story is more important than CGI, Metropolis delivers a stirring film that explores what it means to be human, and sets the stage for every robot/android/clone movie ... Read More
