Metropolis, Report from China

 

To the Film:

42 min / Realized with Clemens von Wedemeyer / colour / 2006

 

A convergence of two mythsÑthe modern totalitarianism depicted in Fritz LangÕs Metropolis in 1926 and modern China, whose staggering growth obsesses the West. In Variation sur Metropolis, one fiction meets another.

In 2004, we travelled to China in order to prepare a re-adaptation of the feature film Metropolis.

These are the materials we collected during our research, the interviews we conducted and the discussions we have had with the workers and the architects of Chinese cities.
