Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential video

Fritz Lang's Metropolis belongs to legend as much as to cinema. It's a milestone of sci-fi and German expressionism. Yet the story makes minimal sense, and the "theme" belongs in a fortune cookie; to experience the film's pagan power, you have to see the movie. But for decades we couldn't, not really--not with so many versions, all incomplete, often in public-domain prints like smudged photocopies. This Murnau Foundation restoration changes all that. Some shots, scenes, and subplots may be lost forever, but intertitles indicate how they fit into the original continuity and the characters' individual trajectories. Most crucially, the images are crisp, vibrant, and three-dimensional instead of murky and flattened. The composite sequences (the Tower of Babel, a sea of lusting eyes) have been restored to their hallucinatory ferocity. And there's one moment when you can see a bead of sweat roll down a man's cheek--in medium long-shot. --Richard T. Jameson


Product Description

It is the future & humans are divided into two groups: the thinkers who make plans (but dont know how anything works) & the workers who achieve goals (but dont have the vision). One man from the thinkers dares visit the underground where the workers toil & is astonished by what he sees.. Studio: Kino International Release Date: 11/09/2004 Run time: 124 minutes

Metropolis (Restored Authorized Edition)

I thought I’d add in my own two cents about this fine film.  This version features scenes not found in most dvd/vhs versions of Metropolis. I am not talking so much about the scenes of, say, the two guys fighting over Maria in the Yoshiwara Nightclub ...
