Metropolis

About This Movie

Metropolis (2015) is an interesting take on youth culture, centered around sixteen-year-old Cyril, who's deeply immersed in the Tecktonik dance scene. The film captures that raw energy of teenage passion—Cyril and his best friend Justine embark on this quirky journey to prove his electro dance prowess through a video. It's not just about dance, but also friendship, aspiration, and the trials of teenage life. The pacing is quite breezy, with a fun, almost chaotic atmosphere that resonates well with the vibrancy of the Tecktonik movement. The practical effects used for dance sequences give it a unique charm, while performances feel genuine, albeit a bit amateurish at times. Still, that adds to its authenticity. Not your typical comedy, but it's refreshing in its own weird way.
