Michael and Us: Head, Hand, Heart

In a distant future, a privileged ruling class lives in a city fueled by an invisible army of workers who toil in barbaric conditions. Yes, this is the far-fetched scenario of one of the most iconic science-fiction films of all time, Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS (1927). We finally discuss the most famous of all Weimar-era movies, and debate whether or not the mediator between the head and the hand really is the heart.Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
