Laurent Durieux's "Metropolis" was the first poster released for Dark Hall Mansions - Seminal Film Series. Awarded Expresso Beans "Poster of the Week" for 3rd April 2010, this limited edition offset print has been signed by the Durieux (a lovely clear full signature) in gold pen and hand-numbered #38 in a print run of 300. Printed with eight coloured inks, including metallics, the overall effect is dazzling. The film almost bankrupted Germany's UFA Studios. Its futuristic vision and singularly intense direction by pioneering legend Fritz Lang took almost two years to complete. Its monumental influence on artists mining all fields of creative endeavour continues to this very day. Be it Superman creators Siegel and Shuster's naming of their hero's city or the similarity of George Lucas' C-3PO and the iconic Metropolis robot, the impact of Metropolis will be felt for generations to come.
