Singin’ in the Rain is widely considered one of the greatest musical films of all time. Set in Hollywood during the late 1920s, it tells the story of the film industry’s transition from silent cinema to sound. By reflecting on the processes of filmmaking, Singin’ in the Rain also reveals the industry’s relationship with the natural world.
