Metropolis, 1927
Continuing with the amazingness of retro sci-fi comes the retro-est. Without a doubt one of the most massive and visually ineffable films of all time. This **** would blow my mind if it came out
now. These sets, my lord, these sets are monstrous in scope and brilliantly imaginative, and there's literally more god damn extras in this movie than there are people in my previous hometown of South Lake Tahoe. The work put into this must have grinded bones.
