Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927)

8.5/10
Was fortunate enough to see this with a live orchestra and 25 minutes of restored footage. I thought it was pretty great. The morals and themes are a bit tepid together but, considering this was 1926, it was undoubtably pretty risqué for its time. The effects were also surprisingly impressive.
