Metropolis

My visual input this month came from the revamped version of Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis.
I saw it in the Castro theatre, which is a little older than the film. I went with our father, who has a similar fondness for sitting through strange old movies in old movie theatres, not shared by many. I made the most of an opportunity. No, it is not a film I would reccomend on dvd, but it is indeed fantastic, when you get into it. Great costumes for future reference.

"The Castro Theatre is truly an acre of seats in a palace of dreams."

Hasta muy pronto! Off to Scotland tomorrow.
