Description

Joe and Producer Andrew are talking about Metropolis, one of the most iconic silent films ever made. A two-and-a-half hour German Expressionist sci-fi epic directed by Fritz Lang, Metropolis tells the story of Freder, the son of a rich, ruling class father, falling in love with Maria, a woman from the lower classes. Freder discovers the massive class divide that was hidden from him, and then a plot by a mad scientist almost destroys the city. Themes are more text than subtext in this visually stunning film from 1927.
