From a film curator's vault in Argentina to your DVD player, the discovery of 25 minutes of lost footage from Fritz Lang's visionary sci-fi masterpiece is a cinephile's dream come true. Lang's depiction of a giant city controlled by an authoritarian industrialist, who lives in a paradise-like garden while the workers live and struggle in subterranean sections of the city, was as important for its vision of man in the service of those who control technology as for its implicit and moving social message. "A brilliant piece of expressionist design, with moments of almost incredible beauty and power" (Pauline Kael). This all-new restoration is only six minutes short of the print first premiered in Berlin in 1927. This version follows Lang's original cutting and features Gottfried Huppertz's original score.

Fritz Lang---Germany---1927---147 mins.
