(Fritz Lang, Germany 1927, 148 min., DCP)
Director Fritz Lang’s prescient vision of an urban world in disarray has been digitally restored to its original premiere length. With this science fiction epic, Lang brought to the screen one of the most ambitious and iconic movies ever made. The story takes place in a city of the future, in which slaves toil underground for a ruling class that lives above in an urban utopia. Amidst this setting, two young idealists hope to unite the workers and bring the two worlds together. The renowned Anvil Orchestra will perform the live musical accompaniment, creating another cinematic experience not to be missed.
Live accompaniment from Anvil Orchestra.
