Metropolis.
Jul. 28th, 2010 11:08I was offered the day off today yesterday at random. Judging by how late I slept, taking it was the right decision.
Metropolis. Ein film von Fritz Lang. 1927. Restored edition, 2010.
With the discovery of a copy of the film with more than 30 minutes' additional footage in Buenos Aires in 2008, Metropolis is now as close to Fritz Lang's original vision as it's going to get.
And, wow, what a vision it is.
( The mediator between the brain and the hands must be the heart! )
So, yes. I'm wonderfully glad that I finally saw the film, and in the excellent restoration. Will I ever watch it again? I don't know, once was probably enough. I do want to watch the Metropolis anime and rewatch the part of FMA: Conqueror of Shangri-La that has Fritz Lang in it, though.
