Favorite Foreign Films: Metropolis (1927)

Film: Metropolis
Country: Germany
Director: Fritz Lang

Few films have been as influential to science fiction as Lang's brilliant silent masterpiece. Eighty-three years after its initial release, it remains stunning and powerful. It's a classic tale of societal upheaval, as workers rebel against the city elite, whipped to a frenzy by a beautiful robotic siren. Too many films to list have been inspired by, or have outright copied from, this movie. See why! You won't forget the experience.
