Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) remains one of the most defining works in motion picture history. In this scene the scientist, Rotwang, transforms his "Maschinenmenach" into an evil duplicate of Maria, a beautiful and innocent woman who lives in a vast worker's city beneath the towers of prosperity that rise above it.
When you see Rotwang at work in his laboratory, you are looking at the model for 85 years of madmen, laboratories, set design, and cinematography in science fiction films. If you like science fiction, Metropolis is a "must see."
