Description
"On 1 July 2008, film experts in Berlin announced that a 16mm reduction negative of the original cut of the film had been discovered in the archives of the Museo del Cine in Buenos Aires, Argentina.The print had been in circulation since 1928, starting off with a film distributor, and subsequently being passed to a private collector, an art foundation, and finally the Museo del Cine. The print was investigated by the museum's curator, Argentinian film collector, curator/historian and TV presenter Fernando Martin Pera, after he heard an anecdote from a cinema club manager expressing surprise at the length of a print of Metropolis he had viewed."
The final restoration adds some 30 minutes to the production and fleshes out some sub plots. But I find it abrasive as the scratched 16mm footage is jarring compared to the mostly pristine 35mm footage printed from the original negative.
