Description
Metropolis is set in a dystopic future where ruling elites govern from menacing high rise buildings whilst oppressed workers live below. In this harsh world a young couple, Freder, the son of a wealthy intellectual and Maria, a worker’s daughter, attempt to overcome the society’s class divides. Fritz Lang’s stunning masterpiece of early cinema is perhaps the most influential science fiction film ever made. Summerhall will be showing the recently restored version of the film.
“This sci-fi silent remains one of the gems of the genre”
