As a physical education major, let me explain German Expressionism to you…

In part 2 of our discussion of Metropolis, things go off the rails quickly and often. Once again, the curse of this movie has reduced us to 80% capacity, but our B- strength is still enough for an A+ performance. OK, maybe an A-.

We generally really liked this movie, and it shows in our ratings. There’s so much to take in with huge sets, hundreds of cast members, bombastic scores, and emoting! So much emoting! Come along with us as we wrap up our discussion of this titan of the Silent Film era.
