Fritz Lang's German expressionist science fiction masterpiece, Metropolis, with a live improvised score. In a techno-future where the world is starkly divided between the elite and the workers, John Fredersen, a wealthy magnate uses unseemly methods to crush a worker uprising led by the charismatic Maria... who also happens to be the object of desire for his son Feder. Abstract set design, incredible practical effects, and hundreds of extras make Metropolis a dizzying and alluring retro view of the future. Accompanied by some of Halifax's most intriguing musicians and improvisers, this matinee screening of a classic film is not to be missed.
