TOPIC: METROPOLIS (film comments by Evelyn C. Leeper)
Our movie-and-book group watched METROPOLIS (1927) this month, and
read (or tried to read) METROPOLIS by Thea Von Harbou. Whether it
was Von Harbou's writing, or the translation, I found the book
over-flowery and then some (and I was not the only one).
I just glanced at the first few sentences of the original German. It's ultraviolet prose.
