Join us at The Cabot for a silent film featuring a live score – 1927’s Metropolis with music by The Anvil Orchestra!
Metropolis is Fritz Lang’s German science-fiction classic that presents a highly stylized futuristic city where a beautiful and cultured utopia exists above a bleak underworld populated by mistreated workers. When the privileged youth Freder (Gustav Fröhlich) discovers the grim scene under the city, he becomes intent on helping the workers. He befriends the rebellious teacher Maria (Brigitte Helm), but this puts him at odds with his authoritative father, leading to greater conflict.
