Based on the 1949 Metropolis manga created by revered manga artist and animator Osamu Tezuka (Astroboy), itself inspired by the 1927 German silent film of the same name, written by anime legend Katsuhiro Otomo (‘Akira) and directed by Rintaro (‘Galaxy Express 999’), ‘Metropolis’ is considered a defining film in the anime genre, as well as one of the finest animated films of all time, featuring stunning imagery and unforgettable characters.
