metropolis  

Definition(s)

  • Eighty years after its premiere in Berlin on January 14, 1927, Austrian director Fritz Lang's Metropolis remains among the most powerful visions of urban modernity and the most famous German film in the history of cinema. It dramatically represented how the conflicts—economic, political, social, familial, psychosexual, architectural, and spiritual—of technological society dominate the prospects for life in the city.
