"Metropolis is an epic 1927 German expressionist film directed by Fritz Lang and written by Lang and his wife, Thea von Harbou. Made in pre-WWII Germany, Metropolis is set in a futuristic urban dystopia and follows the attempts of Freder, the wealthy son of the city's ruler, and Maria, a poor worker, to overcome the vast gulf separating the classes of their city. It is regarded as a pioneering work of the science-fiction genre in movies. Roger Ebert wrote that the time, place and characters created in Metropolis are ""so striking that they became part of our arsenal of images for imagining the world."" Metropolis is a major influence for Ridley Scott (Blade Runner), George Lucas (Star Wars), Tim Burton (Batman) and numerous other dystopian urban dramas."

Pictorially, "The Mock Destruction of the World" plays out like a dark and peculiar dream. I would also add, a funny dream. It is the story of an unusual toymaker, who shows his hospitality for the processes of malfunction and decay through the creation of nightmarish toys. What the toymaker says about his work is actually generous and affirmative. He believes decay is a creative process.

In 2013, the incomparable comedy group Monty Python announced that they would be performing live for the first time in 34 years, performing 10 shows at the 15,000-seat O2 Arena, London. The first show sold out in 43.5 seconds. With a history of documenting the Pythons and its members on stage with films that include Pleasure at Her Majesty's and other installments of The Secret Policeman's Ball series, award-winning director Roger Graef teamed up with acclaimed director James Rogan and producer Holly Gilliam to document the Python's process of creating the show. The filmmakers’ unique access allowed them to capture candid interviews and fascinating insights with the legendary group as they rediscover the magic of their unique brand of comedy live with thousands of old and new fans. Combining never before seen archive footage, new versions of old favorites and some provocative new musical numbers, this is a wonderful celebration of the Pythons and their immense contribution to comedy
