Worker 11811 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 From Zeit: Last Tuesday Paula Félix-Didier travelled on a secret mission to Berlin in order to meet with three film experts and editors from ZEITmagazin. 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. http://www.zeit.de/online/2008/27/metropolis-vorab-englisch This is a BIG discovery folks! About 20% of this movie has been considered LOST FOREVER for the last 80 years! Finding this much of an old, classic movie considered lost is a truly earth shaking event! I can't wait to see when the new scenes will be released publicly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGalanos Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Not being a big fan of silent films, I didn't think this "find" was all that big a deal ... Until I read about it in Time magazine last week. Makes you wonder what other "treasures" are out there just waiting to be re-discovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
