We Shall Build A Tower That Will Reach To The Stars!


Over eighty years since it was last seen, it would appear that a virtually complete version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis has been discovered. It was found in (adopts Deborah Watling voice for a moment) Buenos............ Aires!

Apparently pretty much every key scene that was hacked out of the original print (the longest previously extant version was missing more than a quarter of the full running time) has been found again.

My god. I'm utterly delighted.
