Fritz Lang’s
Metropolis
(1927, 114 min.)

Introduced by Laird Easton, Chair, Department of History, CSU Chico
Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionist film in the science-fiction genre. Produced in Germany during a stable period of the Weimar Republic, it is set in a futuristic urban dystopia and makes use of this context to explore a political theme of the day: the social crisis between workers and owners in capitalism. The film was produced in the Babelsberg Studios by Universum Film A.G. (UFA). The most expensive silent film ever made, it cost approximately 5 million Reichsmark.
