Editorial
One of the most iconic films ever made, Fritz Lang’s dystopian classic is as thrilling today as it was on release in 1927. A mind-blowing visual symphony, Lang’s deeply influential vision is both the foundation of sci-fi cinema and a time-honoured gateway to the expressive wonders of silent film.
