Fritz Lang's Silent 1927 Classic Metropolis This Show Has Sold Out! Celebrate Silent Movie Day at the Vidiots Eagle Theater Sunday, September 29th at 11:45 AM Live Musical Accompaniment by Cliff Retallick "Metropolis" is one of the great achievements of the silent era, a work so audacious in its vision and so angry in its message that it is, if anything, more powerful today than when it was made. - Roger Ebert Online tickets for Metropolis are no longer available. A very limited number of tickets for walk-ups will be made available on Sunday morning (9/29), forty-five minutes before showtime, or 11:00 AM. Click here for more information. We are grateful to all of you who have purchased tickets for what promises to be an amazing show. The Alex Film Society, Retroformat Silent Films and the Vidiots Eagle Theater will observe Silent Movie Day with a screening of the 2010 restoration of what is now referred to as The Complete Metropolis, giving audiences the opportunity to experience virtually the same version of the film that existed upon its release in 1927. Noted for its spectacular sets and futuristic effects that put it decades ahead of its time, the film is fundamentally the story of a dystopian future where the captains of industry unleash the forces of automation and mechanization to subjugate the working class - themes which are still primary concerns nearly 100 years later.
