Fritz Lang’s classic film “Metropolis” is considered one of the most expensive films of all-time. Especially for when it was made, back in 1927. If adjusted for inflation, the cost of the film would equal around $200 million. Since it was so long ago, the only thing that really is survived of the film is an incomplete original negative and shortened copies of re-released prints. Since a few days ago, over one quarter of the film has been missing. Cinexcellence informed me yesterday that they found the missing footage in a 210-minute cut in Argentina. This cut was only shown once at a German premiere. I haven’t seen the Kino released version yet (have it, but have not watched it), but I really want to check this one out. Hope it gets released in some theaters.
