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... Read Full Story
I don’t think I’d ever realized M ’s technical importance. Lang creates quite a few filmmaking standards here, still in use today. Non-specific to genre, M features some brilliant off-screen dialogue work. It’s the earliest example (I’ve ever seen) of hearing a scene’s action while looking at something else. There’s also Lang’s approach to the sound. Lang uses the silence for the emphasis, shocking the viewer with loud noises every once in a while. There are, I’m sure, a few other ones... 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... Read Full Story

International News: 1927 German film bombed at box office -- A large part of the missing footage cut from Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" after it flopped upon opening in 1927 has been found in a museum in Argentina. Read Full Story
It never ceases to amaze me that certain classic movies are not readily available to view and that all manner of garbage gets DVD releases. This is a good case in point and is certainly one of German emigre Fritz Lang's best Hollywood movies. It opens in Nazi Germany where huntsman Walter Pidgeon (far far less wooden than he often seemed in his film roles) has Hitler in his rifle sights and pulls the trigger of the unloaded gun.
