Wiemar Republic Dance Sequence from 'Metropolis' (1927)

As you may be aware by now from recent uploads of Claire Waldorf, Anita Berber, Sebastian Droste and Margo Lion, I'm more than just a bit interested in the theatre and cabaret of the Weimar Republic. So I was too tempted not to upload this edgy, slightly frenetic at times surreal dance sequence from Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction film masterpiece 'Metropolis'. The sequence is in fact the product of a man's feverish delirium, with all its implied meanings. The dancer here is Brigitte Helm, who plays the duel role of the pure woman and the robot version of herself. This is German Weimar Republic expressionist film at its very best. The surreal eyes section reminds somewhat of the later film 'Un Chien Andalou' (1929) from Spanish director Luis Buñuel and artist Salvador Dalí. I've left the film silent rather than attempting to add an audio track as I feel the imagery is more powerful this way. In fact, I unconsciously and imaginatively hear an audio track as the movie plays. Enjoy!
