| METROPOLlS starring Gustav FrohIich, Brigitte HeIm, RudoIf KIein-Rogge and Alfred Abel. Directed by Fritz Lang. An outstanding motion picture portrayaI of life in the future as envisioned by Fritz Lang and Thea von Harbou. Full of amazing sets and imaginative speciaI effects, METROPOLIS teIls the story of the privileged Ieaders of the city and the monotonous, dangerous and burdensome daily life of the repressed workers. When the mad inventor, Rotwang, creates a robot to repIace the living workers, the master of Metropolis directs the robot to wreak havoc among them. Our version is the 94 minute standard American release as presented by Essex FiIms, with original titles and transIations created by Bob Lee. For years this version has been highly prized among the film coIlecting community and this is the onIy authorized DVD reIease. Original music score composed and performed by Stuart Oderman. From a glimpse of the distant future, to a glimpse of the distant past... WlLLlS O'BRlEN PRIMlTlVES "The Dinosaur and the Missing Link" (1915) "R.F.D. 10,000 B.C." (1916) "Prehistoric Poultry" (1916) Long before his outstanding special effects work on such Iandmark fiIms as THE LOST WORLD, KING KONG and MlGHTY JOE YOUNG, WiIIis O'Brien was aIready fascinated by animation and prehistoric life. In these three charming short comedies, we see cavemen interacting with dinosaurs and other primitive life through the use of O'Brien's stop-motion technique. A fascinating Iook at what was yet to come in the career of a true film pioneer. Presented with vintage jazz music scores. |
