As a world-wide approved and highly rated piece of art and UNESCO world heritage, METROPOLIS has been moved once more, by the scenes recently discovered in Buenos Aires in 2008, into
the forefront of public interest. Fritz Lang's silent film classic METROPOLIS is a masterpiece of film aesthetics, a milestone in the history of the science fiction film genre, and perhaps the most famous silent film of the Expressionist movement.

With enormous architectural constructions, countless extras, pioneering special effects and representations of monorail systems, flying cars, robots and visual telephone, he established the basis for the film genre.
