For September's MOTM, I am championing Metropolis. If you need any reminding of this film's awesomeness, here is my review.
Why should Metropolis be MOTM?
- It's amongst the most ambitious film's ever. The production design of Fritz Lang's world is staggering for its time.
- Brigitte Helm's gloriously unhinged performance as the Machine Man. She plays two characters who look identical, but you never doubt which is which.
- Rotwang, the stereotypical mad scientist with the hint of tragedy lurking behind his actions.
- Introducing LAMBs to both one of the most important sci-fi films of all time and one of the best silents ever.
