This is a link post "Metropolis" (1927) U.K. Premiere Programme.
Only three of these are known to survive. They were handed out to
audience members at Marble Arch Pavilion on March 21st 1927 at the
movie's UK premiere. For those who don't know... this was (among other
things) the inspiration behind Queen's "Radio Gaga" video. Enjoy the nostalgia
B3tans :-D

This is a normal post That is an important and stunning masterpiece.
It's also a precursor to transhumanism.

This is a normal post A very interesting artefact
and one of my favourite films. :-)

It's quite amusing to read how much H.G. Wells hated the film - "It gives in one eddying concentration almost every possible foolishness, cliché, platitude, and muddlement about mechanical progress and progress in general served up with a sauce of sentimentality that is all its own."

This is a normal post I've never watched it
However I rather liked the anime version from a few years back. Mainly it has to be said for the rather fantastic sequence where the Ziggurat is destroyed.
