The latest, and most complete, restoration of Fritz Lang's beautiful and way-ahead-of-its time film Metropolis had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year and has since been shown at the Hong Kong International Film Festival. It will be screened on the Turner Classic Movies channel in the US this Autumn, and then get a DVD release from
Kino International. In the UK,
Masters of Cinema are set to release the restoration on DVD (and would a Blu-ray be too much to hope for?) in the near future.
