Metropolis II
Available on ZDF Select
Three cities in the 15th century. Constantinople: capital of Byzantium, open to the intellectual currents of East and West ... Venice: whose wealthy patricians are funding a golden age of the arts ... Paris: loud, dirty, a hotbed of scientific and intellectual inquiry ... These three films take the viewer back in time to a stimulating, mystifying era. But what makes them unusually engrossing is the 'tour guide' who leads us through his city: a real-life historical personality and celebrity who presents the many facets of 'his' city with vitality and deep understanding.
