When I look at the harsh dark shadows, the distorted angles, and the magnified expressions on people’s faces in the exhibition Masterworks of Expressionist Cinema: Caligari and Metropolis, I feel at home. What might be disturbing to other viewers seems to be ingrained as a nostalgic memory in me, as part of the German collective subconscious.

Metropolis, the pioneering 1927 German expressionist science-fiction film directed by Fritz Lang is written into the history books.

"Fritz Lang’s Metropolis is still the ultimate film about class struggle and the need for mediation and compromise in society. For a silent film it is incredibly harrowing, thought-provoking, and suggestively sexual. A huge inspiration for many music videos, notably by Madonna and Lady Gaga."Submitted by joachimz.
