Epic Saturdays: Metropolis (1927)
A Screening and Discussion of Classic Movies
Event price: Free
Our Epic Saturdays series features films that run a little too long (over two hours) for our regular Great Movies events. The movies are still free and so is the popcorn! Please join us as librarian and movie fanatic Andy Wolverton introduces, screens, and leads a discussion of Fritz Lang's monumental film Metropolis (1927). Set in a futuristic city, Metropolis dramatically explores the divide between the wealthy and the common workers who laboriously maintain the massive city. Lang's silent masterpiece has stood the time as not only a science fiction classic, but also a huge influence on architecture, urban planning, and industrial design. We will be screening the 143-minute restored version of the film.
