Metropolis at the Somerville Theatre
8 p.m.
Fritz Lang’s futuristic vision of a dystopian society comes to life in his 1927 masterpiece, Metropolis. The Somerville Theatre is screening the extremely long (the original cut was 153 minutes) silent film, accompanied by the musical stylings (and score) of the Alloy Orchestra. This is a great opportunity to enjoy a screen classic in the manner in which it was intended to be viewed; in a beautiful theatre with live music. Tickets are expected to sell out; they’re available online and at the box office in advance.
