This is the opening 7 minutes of Fritz Langs
Metropolis. Look at how the actors move, this
should give you a feel for an expressionist
acting style. Note an almost epileptic
dynamism and cataleptic stasis, creating
driving rhythms in which rapid and highly
patterned moves continuously freeze into a
series of emblematic positions.

This has to be the masterpiece of film making
- Fritz Lang's Metropolis was made in 1927 -
incredibly he was using some of the earliest
techniques in special effects for movies -
mirroring, superimposing etc, even the robot
looks like something out of Star Wars.
The film was originally panned by the
critics, it wasn't a commercial success in
its day.
As it was made in 1927, Metropolis was a
silent movie, so various music scores have
been written over the years more recently by
Giorgio Moroder....however the soundtrack
i've used on this clip is by Quivver aka John
Graham
The Film has recently been remastered for dvd
sale.
