The anti-utopian “Metropolis” is a classic of German Expressionist cinema.
The Metropolis is a futuristic city of the future, divided into two parts.
On the surface, among beautiful buildings and gardens, the ruling classes live.
The easy and carefree life of the elite is ensured by the “lower-level” residents, forced to work at underground factories.
