Join us for a FREE Online Discussion of Metropolis


Now more than ever, we need to get together and enjoy discussing great works of art. Metropolis, Fritz Lang’s towering science fiction landmark, unfolds in a stunningly imagined future in which the populace is divided between the workers, who labor underground, and the rich, who live in a lavish city of splendor.
Intrigued? Join us for an hour on April 8, 2020, at either 1:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. central time to discuss Metropolis. Once again, Great Books trainer, filmmaker, and film fan Mike Elsey will be your discussion leader, so you will be in good hands for a thought-provoking session!
