Please note that this film is NOT the 1927 German film by Fritz Lang. This is a 2001 Japanese anime based on a manga by Osamu Tezuka. And it is brilliant. The mise en scene is so detailed that one can't take it all in at first viewing. The graphic design is stunning, obviously inspired by Lang's 1927 classic but supercharged by the Japanese flair for animation. The setting, Metropolis, is the world of tomorrow viewed through the eyes of yesterday. And if, like myself, you appreciate traditional jazz, you will love the soundtrack. Very Highly Recommended.
