Our final guest on BFI Player's 'The Cut', watch Ana Matronic on robots and Fritz Lang's masterpiece - "My fascination with robots began with 'Star Wars', which was the first movie I ever saw in the cinema. Robots were never scary or anything. They were kind of like toys come to life, and so I was always fascinated with them. 'Metropolis' is one of the greatest, most influential films ever made. The robot character was a direct influence on C-3PO. It definitely is one of the biggest touchstones for all robot films that have come after it. Every single frame is so considered. You could take any still from 'Metropolis', put it in a frame, and hang it on your wall. It's just machine-age robot perfection. It's just one of the most beautiful films ever made."
