Metropolis (Special Edition, DVD, 1926).
NEWLY RESTORED TO THE VISION OF
MASTER FILMMAKER FRITZ LANG
TO CELEBRATE THE FILM'S
76TH ANNIVERSARY
Perhaps the most famous and influential of all silent films, Metropolis had for 75 years been
seen only in shortened or truncated versions. Now, restored in Germany with state-of-the-art
digital technology, under the supervision of the Murnau Foundation, and with the original 1927
orchestral score by Gottfried Huppertz added, Metropolis can be appreciated in its full glory.
Metropolis takes place in 2026, when the populace is divided between workers who must live in
the dark underground and the rich who enjoy a futuristic city of splendor. The tense balance of
these two societies is realised through images that are among the most famous of the 20th
century, many of which presage such sci-fi landmarks as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade
Runner. Lavish and spectacular, with elaborate sets and modern science fiction style,
Metropolis stands today as the crowning achievement of the German silent cinema.
