Here's your chance to see Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction classic as its director originally intended - restored and now with 25 minutes of previously lost footage. Forerunner of the likes of 2001: a Space Odyssey, Blade Runner and The Matrix, Metropolis takes place in 2026, where people are divided into two groups: poor workers living beneath the ground and the rich who enjoy a futuristic city of luxury. Lavish and spectacular, with elaborate sets and hugely ambitious production values, it stands today as a testament to Lang's vision of what cinema could be. Truly one of history's most definitive films.
