The 1920s classic 'Metropolis' is showing at Oxford's Ultimate Picture Palace on Sunday 3rd and Monday 4th February.
'With its dizzying depiction of a futuristic cityscape and alluring female robot, Metropolis is among the most famous of all German films and the mother of sci-fi cinema (an influence on Blade Runner and Star Wars, among countless other films). Directed by the legendary Fritz Lang (M, Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse,The Big Heat, etc.), its jaw-dropping production values, iconic imagery, and modernist grandeur it was described by Luis Bunuel as ‘a captivating symphony of movement’ remain as powerful as ever.'
