Metropolis

Silent Film Concert with Stephan Graf v. Bothmer In his silent film concert, Stephan Graf von Bothmer performs "Metropolis," the benchmark for all science fiction films, live on the grand piano. Music and film permeate each other with incredible intensity – technologically obsessed and romantic, popular and avant-garde at the same time. Staged with immense effort by Fritz Lang, this modern fairy tale tells the story of a city of the future, where workers deep down in the dark interior of the earth tend to machines. In contrast, the rich above lead a life full of luxury and light. Until disaster strikes... Even those who have never seen a silent film in their lives will encounter familiar images here. Because like no other film before or after it, "Metropolis" has shaped film history since its premiere in 1927. "Blade Runner," "Matrix," or "The Wall" are some of the countless films inspired by "Metropolis." Photo/s
