descobertas cenas-chave de "metropolis"

meu dvd não conta a história toda? fui enganada!

fritz lang presented the original version of "metropolis" in berlin in january 1927 (...) the original version could only be seen in berlin until may 1927 - from then on it was considered to have been lost forever. those recently viewing a restored version of the film first read the following insert: "more than a quarter of the film is believed to be lost forever" (...)


adolfo z. wilson, a man from buenos aires and head of the terra film distribution company, arranged for a copy of the long version of "metropolis" to be sent to argentina in 1928 to show it in cinemas there. shortly afterwards a film critic called manuel peña rodríguez came into possession of the reels and added them to his private collection. in the 1960s, peña rodríguez sold the film reels to argentina's national art fund - clearly nobody had yet realised the value of the reels. a copy of these reels passed into the collection of the museo del cine in buenos aires in 1992, the curatorship of which was taken over by paula félix-didier in january this year. her ex-husband, director of the film department of the museum of latin american art, first entertained the decisive suspicion: he had heard from the manager of a cinema club, who years before had been surprised by how long a screening of this film had taken. together, paula félix-didier and her ex-husband took a look at the film in her archive - and discovered the missing scenes. (...)

according to the unanimous opinion of the three experts that zeitmagazin asked to appraise the pictures, there are several scenes which are essential in order to understand the film (...) in brief: "metropolis, fritz lang's most famous film, can be seen through new eyes", as stated by rainer rother, director of the deutsche kinemathek museum and head of the series of retrospectives at the berlinale.
