About This Print
The Dystopian Vision Reimagined by Laurent Durieux
Celebrate the timeless grandeur of Fritz Lang’s 1927 masterpiece with this breathtaking poster created by acclaimed artist Laurent Durieux. Commissioned by Dark Hall Mansion, this 2013 screen print captures the haunting beauty and severe social commentary of Metropolis, arguably the most influential silent film ever made. Durieux skillfully blends the film’s German Expressionist roots with a sleek, vibrant Art Deco sensibility, transforming the classic imagery into a modern collectible.
The Power of the Maschinenmensch
The poster is centered on the mesmerizing figure of the Maschinenmensch (Robot Maria), rendered in gleaming gold and set against an elaborate, gear-like circular motif. She dominates the foreground, symbolizing the struggle between the ruling class and the underground workers. Above her, the dark, geometrically imposing skyline of Metropolis glows menacingly with flashes of burnt orange, creating a stunning contrast with the deep blue and black palette. This unique composition, featuring the elevated rail system and the cast names below, offers a sophisticated and highly sought-after alternative to the original theatrical artwork.
A Must-Have for Sci-Fi and Art Collectors
If you are a fan of classic science fiction, cinematic history, or high-end illustrative art, this poster belongs in your collection. Durieux’s works are known globally for their exquisite detail and storytelling, and this Metropolis rendition is a prime example of his talent, perfect for adding a touch of futuristic elegance and cinematic depth to your home theater or gallery wall.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
