Metropolis

Thematic
By Fritz Lang
With Alfred Abel, Brigitte Helm, Gustav Frohlich
Allemagne, 1927

Metropolis, the city of the 21st century. Rebellion brews among the enslaved workers of the underground city, exploited for the benefit of a privileged elite living in towering skyscrapers. The most expensive German film of the great expressionist era and arguably one of the most visually ambitious, Metropolis is a masterpiece of science fiction cinema and a grandiose metaphor whose power to captivate endures through time.

Presented by Stéphane Tralongo (UNIL).
