« Vilified as "quite the silliest film" (H. G. Wells) on its premiere, Fritz Lang's Metropolis
has become an iconic picture, timeless and powerful. Numerous soundtracks have been proposed
to this silent movie of the twenties, and we're glad to propose yet another one. A handful
of musicians, artists and experimentalists of the Beijing scene will play a live soundtrack
over the 130 minutes of the restored 2010 version, with English and Chinese subtitles. »
