DVD Description
Fritz Lang's Metropolis is perhaps the most famous German film of all time, and certainly one of the most influential of all silent films. In its lifetime it has been: drastically re-edited (shortly after release); unseen for decades; revisioned with a modern music score in the 1980s; and thanks to the work of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung and a network of archives all over the world, restored in 2001. This restoration of Metropolis is almost certainly the most complete and authentic version possible of Lang's original 1927 vision.

Special Features
The extensive 2001 official restoration presented for the first time in the UK or USA with original German intertitles and optional subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German on the main feature and supplements.

Full length audio commentary by film historian Enno Patalas. In German audio with optional subtitles, and also presented in English audio.

The Metropolis Case (2002) - a 44-minute documentary by Enno Patalas on the making of Metropolis.

A 9-minute restoration documentary (2002) with Martin Koerber.
