À propos de nous
This group will cover Film, Art and History, and also meetups under the general theme of culture and being social.
This group is about my love of cinema, and feeling that history matters. Plus art and cultural things too. Welcome!
I added a blog to discuss the films we've seen: https://gisellefilmclub.blogspot.com/
I wanted a space to exchange views and ideas, and post links to interesting reviews. To write about films that left an impression.
Let me know any questions.

https://www.genesiscinema.co.uk/event/34347Plot: " Set in 2026 with its dizzying depiction of a futuristic cityscape and alluring female robot, Metropolis is among the most famous of all German films and the mother of sci-fi cinema (an influence on Blade Runner and Star Wars, among countless other films). Directed by the legendary Fritz Lang (M, Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse, The Big Heat, etc.), its jaw-dropping production values, iconic imagery, and modernist grandeur – it was described by Luis Buñuel as "a captivating symphony of movement" – remain as powerful as ever.
Drawing on – and defining – classic sci-fi themes, Metropolis depicts a dystopian future in which society is thoroughly divided in two: while anonymous workers conduct their endless drudgery below ground their rulers enjoy a decadent life of leisure and luxury. When Freder (Gustav Fröhlich) ventures into the depths in search of the beautiful Maria (Brigitte Helm in her debut role), plans of rebellion are revealed and a Maria-replica robot is programmed by mad inventor Rotwang (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) and master of Metropolis Joh Fredersen (Alfred Abel) to incite the workers into a self-destructive riot."1 participant
