Metropolis (1927 film) [SEP] Introduction
The film's message is encompassed in the final inter-title: "The Mediator Between the Head and the Hands Must Be the Heart". "Metropolis" met a mixed reception upon release. Critics found it visually beautiful and powerful – the film's art direction by Otto Hunte, Erich Kettelhut and Karl Vollbrecht draws influence from Bauhaus, Cubist and Futurist design, along with touches of the Gothic in the scenes in the catacombs, the cathedral and Rotwang's house – and lauded its complex special effects, but accused its story of being naive. H. G. Wells described the film as "silly", and "The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction" calls the story "trite" and its politics "ludicrously simplistic".
