Metropolis

I haven’t seen Fritz Lang’s Metropolis for a few years now but a friend reminded me about it over the weekend. What a film! It’s one worth seeing a few times so you can try all of the alternative soundtracks. I tried the Jeff Mills version a few years back. Incredible.

Slightly related: Rosalynn and I once looked at an apartment in Vancouver. We didn’t rent it but it stuck in our minds because the place had an incredible Metropolis poster on the wall. For the next 2 years we looked everywhere for that poster. We check out all of the poster websites, scoured the poster stores in Vancouver and then Toronto. We even took a special trip to Haight-Ashbury when we were in San Francisco thinking a store there might have it. No luck so far. (If you’re interested – the poster looked a bit like this but had a lot more color in it)
