film inspiration:: metropolis


so among the four million things i am currently juggling, i have been managing time slots to get inspired for my new fall//winter 2012 jewelry line. i have a list of old sci-fi movies i had really been wanting to see and now i am finally doing it! woo hoo!

first up on my list was metropolis. i had seen stills from the film, vintage posters for the film, etc. and had always been immensely intrigued. well, there's a reason i was intrigued...it was because it was sooo right. the film was so ahead of it's time in terms of cinematography, set design and just overall art direction that it blows my mind just thinking about it.

what i find so captivating is the sheer genius that is fritz lang. his vision throughout this film is so epically beautiful you seriously have to wonder how on earth all of this was achieved in 1927. i am still just completely dumbfounded by it.

next up on my list:: la planète sauvage


anyone have any other suggestions??
