Hands only know how to work, head only knows how to think. We must put our heart connecting both of them to make great works.

I always enjoy a good socialist sci-fi film, and this is one of the first and one of the best.

Lang was a genius!! This sci-fi is full of socialist edge. His sets were massive & timelessness. So many later films were imitated.

Silent film of the 'mechanical age,' advancing human progress as workers become automatons. Much like the critique of our electronic age.

The absolute height of German Expressionism. Fritz Lang is a genius. This film held my #1 spot for years. Dark, beautiful, and sci-fi.
