Metropolis - 10 MINUTE Promo - Fritz Lang video

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NarN046dDOQ&fmt=18 This has to be the masterpiece of film making - Fritz Lang's Metropolis was made in 1927 - incredibly he was using some of the earliest techniques in special effects for movies - mirroring, superimposing etc, even the robot looks like something out of Star Wars. The film was originally panned by the critics, it wasn't a commercial success in its day. As it was made in 1927, Metropolis was a silent movie, so various music scores have been written over the years more recently by Giorgio Moroder....however the soundtrack i've used on this clip is by Quivver aka John Graham The Film has recently been remastered for dvd sale. http://www.virginmegastores.co.uk/invt/617416 .. . .
