[VIDEO ESSAY] Although it ends with an overwrought climax, topped off with a laughably banal cliché that unites the workers with their greedy overlord, "Metropolis" is filled with stunning archetypal imagery and grand-scale spectacle.

Metropolis remains the benchmark of agenda-driven extravaganzas, stirring and fun in the right spots.

. . . the film is still something to behold, even if the newly restored footage occasionally looks like someone ran over it with a brillo pad.

A fully realized work of art whose influence on science fiction, set design and symbolism can scarcely be put into words.

Lang's allegory of allegories posits humanity's progress as a collision not just of labor and management but of technology and sorcery

Each frame of this classic is drop-dead stunning.

Too bad that so much really artistic work was wasted on this manufactured story.
