I watched Metropolis last night.
It completely blew my mind.
This film is an unyielding, unending visual spectacle from the very first moment it graces the screen. The sets, the models, the costumes, the matte paintings, even the actors and actresses are so visually striking that for at least a third of the film I was watching with my mouth agape, fully in awe. Each shot, each exaggerated silent-film-era pose struck by an actor or actress, is so well composed it could stand on its own as a single frame work of art. And as for the visual style of the film, it’s as though you’ve stepped into a living 1920’s Art Deco mural.
I can’t believe I waited until now to finally see it. I could have been hit by a bus or something, and then I would have never known what I was missing. It’s on netflix and dvd. Check it out.
