About this event
Metropolis (1927) - Film With Live Orchestra The Most Influential Sci-Fi Film Of All Time, Powered By A Soundtrack As Bold As Its Vision. Metropolis is the city of the future: a world of gleaming skyscrapers and diabolical machines, where the rich live in unimagined splendour and the poor feed the furnaces that drive this art deco dystopia. But the foundations of Metropolis are starting to shake. A revolutionary, a tyrant, a mad inventor and a robot goddess find their fates intertwined in Fritz Lang’s epic movie – a masterpiece of the silent era, whose stunning visuals are as breathtaking today as they were when Metropolis premiered in January 1927. As it turns 100, we’re screening the film complete with Gottfried Huppertz’s full, sumptuous original score, performed live by the BBC SSO and Ben Palmer, one of the world's most sought-after specialists in conducting live to picture. Expect sights - and sounds – like you’ve never experienced. Fritz Lang director Gottfried Huppertz composer Ben Palmer conductor Duration: 2hr 30min (plus 20 minute interval) BBFC rating: PG, contains mild violence and nudity Rotten Tomatoes: 97% Tickets: £23.50, £27.50, £31.50 (includes restoration fund) Half Price for Under 26s and Students
