Last Tuesday Paula Félix-Didier traveled on a secret mission to Berlin in order to meet with three film experts. The museum director from Buenos Aires had something special in her luggage: a copy of a long version of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, including scenes believed lost for almost 80 years. After examining the film the three experts are certain: The find from Buenos Aires is a real treasure, a worldwide sensation. Metropolis, the most important silent film in German history, can from this day on be considered to have been rediscovered. Fritz Lang presented the original version of Metropolis in Berlin in January 1927. The ... Read Full Story

This will probably sound weird, but Ive always been a sucker for movies and books that focus on bleak, dystopian futures where the boundaries of humanity are blurred, and the earth is on the edge of chaos and destruction. I thought perhaps there was something slightly wrong there, but turns out Im not the only one after all. Cyberpunk influences have been infiltrating designer collections; even those from who youd expect nothing less than dainty refinement (were looking at you Christopher Bailey). Wondergirl shoot; outfit by Jessie Hill; Chloe Boots; Sean Young in Blade Runner. So what is Cyberpunk? Read It: Read all of ... Read Full Story

From: www.guesswhichmovie.com

Next Article ► July 2nd, 2008 | Return Home Perhaps one of the most influential silent films ever made, Fritz Lang's 1927 METROPOLIS, has been released and re-released over the years. Yet, every time since the movie's premiere -- it has never been intact. You see, parts of the film have been lost over time and never seen again. Entire sections of the film -- plot, characters -- have disappeared entirely. As such, we've never actually seen this masterpiece of a film as it was intended. But that might just now change. According to the German publication, Die Zeit, a near-complete, if not complete ... Read Full Story
