Holy crap — footage presumed lost from 1927’s Metropolis, from German director Fritz Lang, has been found in Argentina, in the vault of the Buenos Aires Film Museum. The director’s cut of Lang’s stunning, stylish sci-fi classic, containing an extra 30 minutes, was believed to have vanished forever
after it was trimmed by Paramount bosses because of bad reviews. Great news for film history, any way you slice it, after a string of recent setbacks and bad news.
