Few silent films speak as loudly as Fritz Lang’s near-opus Metropolis (M is his best film). A split dystopian/utopian society is at the heart of this futuristic tale from 1927. When a “soulless” worker from the subterranean mechanical heart of this metropolitan city finds himself topside, he falls in love with a beautiful woman who is out of his class. Will love conquer all? Find out when the Toledo Museum of Art features Metropolis for their Sound of Silents program. Organist Clark Wilson will accompany the film. 7pm. Thursday, May 18.
