About this product

Product Information

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.

An extremely reputable seller who only offers quality vintage items at very conservative prices as well as provides the most accurate photos greatly accommodating the decision whether to purchase the item. This seller is truly an asset to eBay's clientele as well as reputation and rates deservingly high in all of eBay's categories. In addition, although I intend to preserve it, the rare irreplaceable slot car operates flawlessly and was shipped with extraordinary care in packing.

The Future
I saw the film a long time ago and was impressed with the message about the future. It is worth having for that reason. Metropolis is also make good use of the special effects for its time.

Metropolis
This film is a classic for anyone who appreciates the early days of film. Originally released in 1927 Metropolis was considered a flop in those days and really only started gaining notoriety in and around the 1980's. Although many would watch this film and rate it poor because of it having no dialouge I would have to give it a good rating, simply due to the effort put in to making this film during a time when there were no modern computers, and editing was done by actually splicing two pieces of film together by hand. Watching these types of films often takes patience and a real appreciation for the creators of films during the early days.

If you're going to watch Metropolis know what you're getting into (two hours of orchestral scores, a hard to follow film at times, and most importantly to the majority of todays audience NO DIALOUGE). It's worth it!

Fritz Lang's Expressionist Masterpiece!
This is the best verison of Lang's Metropolis in several ways. The image quality stands out immediately, an amazing bit of film restoration. I'd believe that part of that very clean appearance came from the editors' access to multiple prints and editions of the film. Using digital techniques, they could pick the best of the bunch for each frame, but also, at least in theory combine information from the multiple copies of each frame. Another fine feature of this film took a bit longer to sink in. It had scenes that I'd never seen before. According to the editors' notes, the original had been edited down to a shorter film many times and in many different ways. By comparing the various abridged versions, the current editors were able to piece together a much more complete version of the film. ...

In a few places, the recovered scenes really changed the way I understood the movie. Even so, they say that as much as a quarter of the original appears to be lost, filled in with intertitles to indicate the missing scenes. Highly recommended film.

Sections of the film have been lost over the years due to poor storage condition, edits to shortened the run time, etc. In this DVD, the "lost sections" have either been restored, or, if damage was too extensive or the film stock was lost, still photos or captions explaining the storyline have been added.

When you watch Metropolis today, it is still a sleek piece of work. Trendsetting in many ways. For instance, the robot in this movie has much in common with that certain complaining android that appears in the Star Wars films. Take a look at Rotwang's laboratory. It's obvious that James Whale (the director of Frankenstein) saw this film. How about Rotwang himself, the mad scientist who lost his hand in an accident. Do any bad guys with a mechanical hand come to mind? Can you say "Dr. No?" I can go on, but why? If you're a science fiction fan, get this DVD. If you are like me who first saw this film in the highly edited televison version, then buy this DVD. The storyline will make a whole lot more sense. If you are jaded on CGI special effects, then you should see Metropolis. They did a pretty good job of doing things without a computer.

Fritz Lang's Metropolis is a fascinating movie, ahead of its time, a strange and elegant movie about classic themes. It still continues to influence today. And the Kino release is the only way to watch it, period. Other versions are no comparison. Documentaries included with the movie show the painstaking work they did with its restoration, digitally cleaning each frame by hand, carefully (and almost miraculously) restoring damage, adding in titles to explain scenes where the footage has been lost, and presenting it with its original soundtrack. (and if you've ever bought a silent movie in the bargain bin and heard whatever garbage they throw together with them normally, you will be able to appreciate this!) The result is nothing short of amazing. The film is so beautifully clean and ... Fritz Lang's Metropolis is a fascinating movie, ahead of its time, a strange and elegant movie about classic themes.

(and if you've ever bought a silent movie in the bargain bin and heard whatever garbage they throw together with them normally, you will be able to appreciate this!) The result is nothing short of amazing. The film is so beautifully clean and crisp that you'd think this movie was 20 years younger than it is. The presentation is professional and complete. If you're a Metropolis fan but have never seen the Kino release, you must: it's like a completely different movie. And if you've never seen it, there's no reason to bother with other versions. This is the definitive Metropolis, period.
