“ ‘The most marvelous book of images ever composed,’ was how Spanish filmmaker Luis Bunuel described [Fritz Lang’s famous silent film from 1927, ‘Metropolis’.]
—
- no small compliment that, from a man whose own filmic images could be pretty marvellous themselves
- the quotation comes from this interesting story about the discovery in Buenos Aires of an original version of the film, a version long thought to have been lost
- the above image of a promotional poster for the film is from here
