Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionist epic science-fiction drama film directed by Fritz Lang. Lang and his wife, Thea von Harbou, wrote the silent film, which starred Brigitte Helm, Gustav Fröhlich, Alfred Abel and Rudolf Klein-Rogge. Erich Pommer produced it in the Babelsberg Studios for Universum Film A.G.. It is regarded as a pioneering work of the science-fiction genre in movies, being among the first feature-length movies of the genre.
Made in Germany during the Weimar Period, Metropolis is set in a futuristic urban dystopia and follows the attempts of Freder, the wealthy son of the city's ruler, and Maria, a poor worker, to overcome the vast gulf separating the classes of their city. Filming took place in 1925 at a cost of approximately five million Reichsmarks, making it the most expensive film ever released up to that point. The motion picture's futuristic style shows the influence of the work of the Futurist Italian architect Antonio Sant'Elia.
The film met with a mixed response upon its initial release, with many critics praising its technical achievements and social metaphors while others derided its "simplistic and naïve" presentation. Because of its long running-time and the inclusion of footage which censors found questionable, Metropolis was cut substantially after its German premiere, and large portions of the film went missing over the subsequent decades.

This version of Metropolis is as complete as much as is now possible, and has the added attraction of key Colour sequences done in the style of the 20's Technicolor two colour process. Many big movies of this period had color sequences as an added attraction, but its high cost and technical difficulty restricted its use for some decades.
This is the famous dance scene, where the artificial Maria bewitches the mighty men of Metropolis. This video contains the new found footage from Argentin. The cut with all the eyes was considered a breakthrough in special effects technique.
MUSIC: PANTyRAiD - Dreaming Window drawing (3m x 6m) @ Concertgebouw in Bruges inspired by the film Metropolis. Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionist science-fiction film directed by Fritz Lang. Set in the year 2026, Metropolis takes place in a dystopian society where wealthy industrialists rule from vast tower complexes, oppressing the workers who live in the depths below them. The drawing is placed on the largest window of the 'Concertgebouw' (Concert building) in Bruges with the perfect backdrop of the city. There are many different perspectives to the work wich has the effect of a changing picture throughout the day.
Eugen Schüfftan (1893 - 1977) was the creator of the special effects for Fritz Lang's silent classic "Metropolis". His more radical experiments, utilizing custom techniques of optical printing with partially transparent mirrors, have never been seen. In this 1927 experiment, Schüfftan transforms footage from a love scene from "Metropolis" into a Futurist-style study of motion. This short clip was discovered on an unlabeled film reel in the archive of the F.W. Murnau Foundation, Wiesbaden, Germany, by Kurt Ralske, in December 2010.

The most influential of all silent films — and a blueprint for future classics like Blade Runner and The Matrix — Fritz Lang’s visionary Metropolis can finally be seen as intended, with 25 minutes of newly—discovered footage and Gottfried Huppertz’s magnificent original score. The addition of this astounding new material (1,257 shots, including entire new sequences), carefully restored and edited into the 2002 restoration, results in the closest rendition ever seen since the film’s 1927 Berlin premiere.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4th - 9:30PM SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5th - 7:30PM SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5th - MIDNIGHT METROPOLIS Dir. Fritz Lang, 1927/1984, 82 min. PRESENTED IN HD The legendary rockin’ alternate version of Fritz Lang’s silent sci-fi classic, on the big screen for the first time in almost thirty years! In 1981, electronic music pioneer/three-time Oscar-winning composer Giorgio Moroder began a years-long endeavor to restore Metropolis, the very first attempt since the film’s original 1920s release. During the process, Moroder gave the film a controversial new score, which included pop songs from some of the biggest stars of the early MTV era (Pat Benatar, Billy Squier, Freddie Mercury, Bonnie Tyler, Adam Ant, Jon Anderson and more!) Missing footage was also re-edited back into the film, inter...
Here come the hounds
You'd better turn and fight, no place to hide
Ripped up inside
Tried your best, but you'll get no free ride
No reason to complain
You're just another one, it's all the same
We are all the same
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
Carving tombstones for the rich
Watch you fall down
We'll laugh as all your dreams we'll pound
This is the sound
Rock bottom
As you hit the ground
Disillusioned, feeling drained
You're just another one, it's all the same
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
Carving tombstones for the rich
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
Carving tombstones for the rich
Crack the whip of modern times
Come meet the dispossessed
Metropolis, you feeble bitch
