Experience the groundbreaking vision of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, a seminal work in the science fiction genre.
Released in 1927, this German silent film is renowned for its stunning visuals and profound social commentary, set against the backdrop of a dystopian future.
Metropolis transports viewers to a starkly divided society in the year 2000, where the affluent elite reside in luxurious skyscrapers while the oppressed working class toils in the depths below. The narrative follows Freder, the son of the city’s ruler, who falls in love with Maria, a working-class prophet advocating for unity between the classes. Their forbidden romance unfolds amidst a backdrop of industrial exploitation and revolutionary fervor, leading to dramatic confrontations and a quest for redemption.
Don’t miss this chance to delve into the cinematic legacy of one of the most influential films ever made!
Tickets: $15 general admission + booking fee.
