Question

During a moonlit rendezvous in a silent film, a woman from one of these places describes a dance hall and a brass band that appear superimposed over the shot. After spending the day in a fantastical one of these places, the Man and the Woman nearly drown during a storm in F. W. Murnau’s film Sunrise. Eugen (“OY-ghen”) Schüfftan invented a process that combines miniatures and mirrors for a film titled for one of these (10[1])places, (10[1])which is sometimes shown with a score by Giorgio Moroder. Below one of these places, a character imagines workers (-5[1])who pull levers (10[1])resembling clock faces (10[1])being fed to Moloch. The (-5[1])New Tower of Babel (10[3])stands over one of these places (10[1]-5[1])in a silent film in which Rotwang (10[1])constructs a (10[1])“machine human.” For 10 points, what sort of place (10[2])titles a science (10[1])fiction (10[1])film (10[2])by Fritz (10[1])Lang? (10[5])■END■ (10[12]0[3])
