CloseFritz Lang’s 1927 masterpiece now with 25 minutes of lost footage.
The resurrection of Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent futuristic thriller follows the discovery in Buenos Aires two years ago of scenes that were thought lost forever on the cutting room floor.
Film historians say the restored version gives more depth and new meaning to the cult movie, set in a futuristic city-state where the ruling class amuse themselves in ‘pleasure parlours’ while the poor slave away underground.
Metropolis is seen as the mother of sci-fi movies, an inspiration for filmmakers such as George Lucas and Ridley Scott.
