Metropolis (1927) - a discussion about Fritz Lang's epic movie

This time Julia chose a real cinematic masterpiece, Metropolis by Fritz Lang. For some of us it was a first watch and for some of us has seen it several times. This of course made for an interesting discussion, and as some may know it is Thomas' favourite movie, so of course he could also provide with some extra insight behind this monumental film.If you are listening to the podcast version, the full version can be found here: https://youtu.be/L4RZpYHwwuM [https://youtu.be/L4RZpYHwwuM]

For video version go here: Olympia video version [https://youtu.be/s7v6seYuRz8] April 6th. 2026 is 130 years since the first Olympic Games. 40 years after the first games this sport event moved to Germany and became the most famous - or infamous - in the history of The Olympics.Not only was this to be a big propaganda event for the horrible oppressive ideology and regime that few years later would set the world on fire, but it was also captured on film by Leni Riefenstahl, an enigmatic figure that on one hand was a visionary artist but on the other hand helped promote the nazi regime.This made for quite an interesting discussion about sports and fascism, the banality of evil, art and politics and much more.

Dogtooth - a discussion about the movie that made Yorgos Lanthimos famous

Rasmus loves the movie Dogtooth but thinks many discussions about this movie totally ignores some key points. It was obvious that this movie had to be discussed in World in a Frame, and it also involved diving into some modern Greek history. But we discussed many topics of control, patriarchy, freedom and much more.
