🎬 Metropolis (1927)Sunday 5 April 2026, 7:30pm
Dir. Fritz Lang | Germany | 2h 3m | Silent | Sci-Fi | Drama
A towering achievement of early cinema, Metropolis is Fritz Lang’s visionary silent masterpiece — a film that continues to shape how we imagine the future.
Set in a vast, futuristic city sharply divided between privileged elites and oppressed workers, the story follows the ruler’s son as he meets Maria, a prophetic young woman who calls for understanding and compassion between the classes. What unfolds is an extraordinary spectacle of monumental design, groundbreaking special effects, and a deeply human moral vision.
Both epic and intimate, Metropolis is a powerful meditation on class, technology, and empathy — one of the most influential films ever made.
This screening is part of the Wairarapa Cinémathèque. Memberships are available now, giving access to a curated programme of classic and significant films throughout 2026.
This special screening of METROPOLIS is presented in cooperation with the Geothe-Institut New Zealand.
