Mon deuxième de Fritz Lang, un film en noir et blanc et muet de 1927. Une histoire vraiment bien je trouve, des effets plus que remarquables pour l’époque. Un univers à part et « « « futuriste » » ». Peut-être un peu long (2h30 pour un film muet, c’est long). De plus il est assez difficile de se procurer une bonne version et en français (pour les paroles écrites).
Synopsis
In a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city's mastermind falls in love with a working class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.
