A Restored German Classic of Futuristic Angst
by Jeremy at 11:40 am EDT, Jul 14, 2002

On January 10, 1927, Fritz Lang's "Metropolis," a wildly ambitious, hugely expensive science fiction allegory of filial revolt, romantic love, alienated labor and dehumanizing technology opened in Berlin, but the movie as Lang made it has never really been seen. ... Thanks to four years of painstaking work, there is now, at long last, a "Metropolis" with a legitimate claim to being definitive.

Far from a historical curio, "Metropolis" arrives, three-quarters of a century late, like an artifact from the future. At last we have the movie every would-be cinematic visionary has been trying to make since 1927.

I hope this is shown outside New York and becomes available on DVD.
