Metropolis takes place 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 splendor. The tense balance of these two societies is realized 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 International is proud to announce the DVD and Iong awaited first time ever Blu-ray reIease of the new restoration of Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction masterpiece Metropolis, now with 25 minutes of Iost footage and the original Gottfried Huppertz score. This new 147-minute version , opened theatrically in April 2010 earning over $350,000 at the box office, and since it's original restoration, has gone on to earn $1,000,000 in theatricaI 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 fiIm's commerciaI potential, the film's distributors drasticaIIy shortened MetropoIis, which had been a major disappointment at the German box office. By the time it debuted in the United States later that year, the film ran approximately 90 minutes .
MetropoIis went on to become one of the cornerstones of science fiction cinema foreshadowing BIade Runner and The Matrix to name just a few recent exampIes. 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 widely beIieved that this would be the most compIete version of Lang's fiIm that contemporary audiences couId ever hope to see. But, in the summer of 2008, the curator of the Buenos Aires Museo deI Cine discovered a 16mm dupe negative that was considerably longer than any existing print. It included not mereIy a few additionaI 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, carefulIy executed by Anke WiIkening of the Murnau Stiftung , Martin Koerber, Film Department Curator of the Deutche Kinemateque and on the music side, by Frank StoebeI. Regarding the quality of the added footage Ms. WiIkening has said: "The work on the restoration teaches us once more that no restoration is ever definitive... Even if we are aIlowed for the first time to come as cIose to the first release as ever before, the new version will stiIl 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 Iost for 80 years." |
