Metropolis
Metropolis
Fritz Lang
Germany
Metropolis is undoubtedly the best-known of all German silent films. Conscious of the many myths surrounding negatives and lost scenes, as well as the various «restorations» that have appeared over the years, the German Bun-desarchiv and the Munich Film Museum, together with the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Stiftung, decided to collaborate on a version informed by authentic research, exhaustive use of film archives, and proper laboratory processes. With most of the credit going to restorer Martin Koerber, the result is the most definitive version of Metropolis that is currently possible, recognizing the loss of perhaps a quarter of Langs original creation, yet recapturing the narrative flow and spectacular photographic quality of those first prints.
