Merry Down “Robot” (00:30) # Fritz Lang’s unforgettable 20s classic,
“Metropolis”. Merry Down feature what is arguably the cult movie’s most famous scene. Gigantic buildings once created work, and cost-intensive mirrors and double exposure effects here represent
an endlessly large “Merry Down Factory” underscored by a steel hammer
beat. Grotesque metallic grimaces turn from cider to cider, from smiling to crying, as endlessly as the image.
