5/1/16 review of film Spies, dir. by Fritz Lang

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the film Spies, directed by Fritz Lang, and which I saw at the 2016 Denver Silent Film Festival.

The thread gives some background on the film and a comparison with Fritz Lang's film Metropolis. It discusses the film's sense of terror, paranoia, and suspense, as well as some of its characters.

Here is the link to the Denver Silent Film Festival's website.

I saw this film at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Littleton, Colorado.

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of two 2014 visits I made to the Bechtler Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina.

One of these visits was made to see the Fritz Lang film Metropolis. I spend quite a while analyzing that film and also, for some reason, comparing it to Major Barbara by George Bernard Shaw.

The second visit was made to see the exhibit Mario Botta: Architecture and Memory, about the art of Mario Botta, who designed the Bechtler's building. My thread discusses Botta's work and influences and has a photo of work by Jean Tinguely and Niki Saint Phalle.

Here is the link to info about the Bechtler's show Mario Botta: Architecture and Memory.

Here is the trailer for the Fritz Lang film Metropolis.
