Missing 'Metropolis' footage discovered
In its issue out Thursday, the magazine reports exclusively about how the footage was tracked down in the archive of the Cinema Museum in Buenos Aires. The magazine also offers details of scenes long considered lost.
The publication said Rainer Rother, artistic director of the Deutsche Kinemathek Museum in Berlin, examined the footage and verified its authenticity.
"'Metropolis,' Fritz Lang's most famous film, can be seen through new eyes," Rother is quoted as saying, adding that the new footage is a "sensational discovery."
Professor Martin Koerber, who restored the most recent version of "Metropolis," also examined the lost scenes and confirmed their authenticity.
"No matter how bad the condition of the material may be, the original intention of the film, including all of its minor characters and subplots, is now once again tangible for the normal viewer. The rhythm of the film has been restored," Koerber told the magazine.
