Don't miss this one! Fritz Langs 1927 epic, METROPOLIS! screening at the historic temple theater in downtown Salina! A film way ahead of its time in filmmaking, narrative, and ideas.
This influential German science-fiction film presents a highly stylized futuristic city where a beautiful and cultured utopia exists above a bleak underworld populated by mistreated workers. When the privileged youth Freder (Gustav Fröhlich) discovers the grim scene under the city, he becomes intent on helping the workers. He befriends the rebellious teacher Maria (Brigitte Helm), but this puts him at odds with his authoritative father, leading to greater conflict.
Featuring cinemas first depiction of a robot and striking cinematography of truly apocalyptic scale. Metropolis still stands as one of the most influential films ever made. Influencing many writers and directors to come.
I'll be doing a film discussion afterwards and I'll have access to a lot of the info on the making of and Fritz Lang himself so I'll be there to lead and answer questions afterwards. Well take a preferred $5 donation at the door and all proceeds go to maintaining the historic temple theater!
