Fritz Lang's 1927 silent masterpiece, Metropolis, has been newly restored after an uncut print was found in a Buenos Aries film archive. Restoring 40 minutes of footage previously thought to be lost, this new version adds some much needed cohesion to the story. Now we have a chance to see the movie the way the director intended. Read the full details here.

Of course it'll never screen on TV in Australia so I guess it's another purchase for me.

Fritz Lang couldn't direct himself out of a paper bag. However, he did direct some great movies.
