Here's a classic to look forward to

[karohemd]

Key scenes of Metropolis found
They found a complete director's cut of the Fritz Lang classic in Buenos Aires. I hope they'll be able to restore it all.
I'm amazed that it's still there at all, I thought the material used for films those days didn't actually have that long a natural lifespan, even when just sitting on a shelf for over half a century.
Thanks to ffutures for the link.

Splendid. I too have the last restoration (2-disc set, about 2001), and will be very interested to see what else they crowbar into it this time (and whether they have an eqwually complete organ score to go with it...)
