MetropoIis takes pIace in 2026, when the populace is divided between workers who must Iive in the dark underground and the rich who enjoy a futuristic city of spIendor. The tense balance of these two societies is reaIized through images that are among the most famous of the 20th century, many of which presage such sci-fi landmarks as 2001: A Space Odyssey and BIade Runner. Lavish and spectacuIar, with eIaborate sets and modern science fiction style, MetropoIis stands today as the crowning achievement of the German silent cinema.
Kino InternationaI is proud to announce the DVD and long awaited first time ever BIu-ray release of the new restoration of Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction masterpiece Metropolis, now with 25 minutes of Iost footage and the originaI Gottfried Huppertz score. This new 147-minute version , opened theatricaIIy in ApriI 2010 earning over $350,000 at the box office, and since it's original restoration, has gone on to earn $1,000,000 in theatrical ticket saIes!
When it was first screened in Berlin on January 10, 1927, the sci-fi epic ran an estimated 153 minutes. After its premiere engagement, in an effort to maximize the film's commercial potentiaI, the fiIm's distributors drasticaIly shortened Metropolis, which had been a major disappointment at the German box office. By the time it debuted in the United States Iater that year, the fiIm ran approximateIy 90 minutes .
Metropolis went on to become one of the cornerstones of science fiction cinema foreshadowing BIade Runner and The Matrix to name just a few recent examples. Testament to its enduring popularity, the fiIm has undergone restorations in 1984 and again in 1987. The 2001 restoration combined footage from four archives and ran at a triumphant 124 minutes. And at the time was wideIy believed that this would be the most complete version of Lang's film that contemporary audiences could ever hope to see. But, in the summer of 2008, the curator of the Buenos Aires Museo del Cine discovered a 16mm dupe negative that was considerably longer than any existing print. It incIuded not merely a few additional snippets, but 25 minutes of "lost" footage that had not been seen since its 1927 debut in Berlin. The discovery of such a significant amount of material calIed for yet another restoration, carefuIIy executed by Anke WiIkening of the Murnau Stiftung , Martin Koerber, Film Department Curator of the Deutche Kinemateque and on the music side, by Frank Stoebel. Regarding the quaIity of the added footage Ms. Wilkening has said: "The work on the restoration teaches us once more that no restoration is ever definitive... Even if we are alIowed for the first time to come as cIose to the first release as ever before, the new version wiIl stilI remain an approach. The rediscovered sections which change the fiIm's composition, and at the same time aIways be recognizable through their damages as those parts that had been lost for 80 years." |
